The aim of this study is to explore the possibilities of introducing the new technology of intensive carp (Cyprinus carpio) farming in a floating vessel. The experiment was conducted on an out-of-use hopper barge on the Danube. Water was pumped in from the Danube using two pumps with a total power of 1 kW. The farming was conducted in two barge compartments with volumes of 40 cubic meter, from June 5th to November 5th, 2009. The obtained results, although preliminary, indicate that it is possible, with certain technical improvements, to achieve high yields from barges, with significantly lower expenditure on feed and negligible negative effects on the environment.
