A total of 566 koi carp (Cyprinus carpio) from the lower Waikato region were aged from scales and opercular bones, and growth was modelled with the von Bertalanffy growth function. There was no difference in growth rate between male and female carp. Growth of koi carp between zero and 3 years of age was lower than that of common carp in Europe and Australia. However, after 5 years of age the growth of koi carp was higher than that of common carp in Europe, but still below that of carp in Australia. Males rarely lived in excess of 8 years whereas females lived to 12 years. Mean total fecundity calculated from 44 running-ripe females was 299000 oocytes (+/- 195600 SD) (range 29800771000). Relative fecundity ranged from 19 300 to 216000 oocytes kg(-1) total body weight, with a mean of 97200 (+/- 35000 SD) oocytes kg(-1). Feral koi carp in the Waikato are capable of multiple spawnings within their lifetimes. Within a spawning season, Waikato populations of feral koi carp contained females that spawned once, and females that had the potential to have spawned repeatedly. Female gonadosomatic index (GSI) varied with season and was negatively related to water temperature.
