Geocache Description:


Vi hadde hørt rykter om en karpedam oppe i fjellene ovenfor Norskeplassen, så vi måtte ta oss en tur opp i dag:

We heard some rumours about a dam with lots of fish up in the mountains from La Plaza Noruega:

Karper kan bli over 50 år gammel og trives best i grunne vann med rik vegetasjon og høy vanntemperatur. Når  temperaturen synker under 8 °C slutter karpene å spise. Optimaltemperatur er mellom 23 – 30grader, og gyting skjer ikke før vanntemperaturen når 17-18 grader C. I nordlige områder tilbringer karpene vinteren nedgravd i bunnen i en dvalelignende tilstand. Karper kan bli over en meter lang og over 30 kilo, men vil nok her ikke bli mer enn kanskje et par kilo. Vi antar at der var ihvertfall over 50 stykker i dammen, i flere fargevarianter.

These are kois and karpe fishes that can be more than 50 year, more than one meter long and 30 kilos under good conditions. They prefer water with temperature between 23 and 30 degrees and stop eating when there's less than 8 degrees. We guess there were at least 50 of them in the dam in various colours.
