Further information

Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) belongs to the order Cypriniformes and the family Cyprinidae, which is considered the largest family of freshwater fish. It generally inhabits freshwater environments, especially ponds, lakes and rivers, and also rarely inhabits brackish-water environments (Barus et al. 2001). It is widely distributed in almost all countries of the world but is very popular in Asia and some European countries (Weber & Brown 2011; Kloskowski 2011a; Parkos & Wahl 2014). Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is considered to be a very important aquaculture species in many Asian and some European countries.
