The BLACK CARP Mylopharyngodon piceus were transferred in 1992 from China. The aim of this research were to increase diversity of black carp in polyculture system of warm-water fish (Chinese carp) in ponds. In this research, stocking amount of this species was determined. The fish stocking Black carp was introduced (with an average weight of 23 gr) to treatments 1 and 2 with number 250 and 500 pieces per hectare respectively was carried out in May. stocking density 3000 per hectare with Silver carp, Common carp, Grass carp and Big head were introduced 140, 42, 42, 25 pieces respectively. Black carp also introduced 180 pieces 90 pieces up to 50 % survival, respectively. The maximum average weight has belong to black carp treatments 1 and 2 with 407±15 gr and 234±12 gr as well as the maximum weight of this fish was 780 gr. There was no statistically significant difference biomass between treatments 1 and 2 (p > 0.05). The result showed suitable density of Black carp was 250 pieces per hectare.
