What is a common carp?

common carp, known to its scientific name Cyprinus carpio , is a freshwater fish that is located worldwide, but is also listed on the list of vulnerable species published by the International Union to preserve nature and natural resources. This seeming discrepancy is explained by the double nature of the species: the original, wild variety is only in rivers that flow into the black, Caspian and Aral Sea, while the domesticated variety is ubiquitous. Both differ in the long history of Carp interaction with people that formed it with selective breeding. However, both varieties have two dumbbells on each side and are gray or bronze colored. Domesticated carp is a shorter, hundred and faster growing than their wild counterparts.

The wild ordinary carp populations decrease as a result of the regulation of the river and interlaced. The channels and dams have disrupted their habitats and cheers to emerge, depending on the flood samples of their original rivers. Also, which were introduced into the native rivers of wild carp, interbed with them. There is no genetic test to identify pure wild carp, so it is not possible to find out how many still exist.

Domesticated ordinary carp is located almost everywhere. Their resistant institutions allow them to survive in many different habitats, although they prefer warm, deep water that is still or slowly flowing. The soft bottom that supports vegetation is an important part of any common carp habitat. They dig up the bottom and eat anything they find there, including crustaceans and plants, and when they emerge, their eggs must stick to vegetation in shallow water to survive. Carp often occur in large lakes and lowland rivers.

For people, the domesticated carp is one of the most widespread fish species. Many of them are supplied for sports fishing in places such as Kingfisher Lake. Some are caughtCommercial aquaculture is grown for food and others. Domesticated carp has become one of the most commercially kept fish in the world.

As the wild carp disappears, the domesticated carp grows in number and importance: in England even achieved the status of celebrities. His name was Benson and she was the biggest ordinary carp in England - her highest weight was £ 64 (about £ 29). She lived in Kingfisher Lake, where the fish were supplied for fishing and relaxation. Benson was caught 63 times. Suddenly she died on July 28, 2009 and many disappointed fishermen left. After finding her death evidence of poisonous raw tigers around Lake Kingfisher Lake, her owners could cause her death.
