Carp, Cyprinus carpio
The Carp is a native of Asia, but extensive introductions have helped to make it the world's most widely distributed freshwater fish. Three strains of Carp have been introduced to Australia, an ornamental strain near Sydney (1850-60), a Singaporean strain in the Murrumbidgee (1876), and a hybrid "Boolara" strain in Victoria (1961). The latter two strains have interbred and this species is now a major pest in many inland streams in New South Wales. [eng]

Carpa (Cyprinus carpio)
La carpa, que va ésser introduïda a casa nostra a començaments de segle, és el peix de règim
continental que gaudeix d'una distribució més àmplia. Es fa difícil, doncs, trobar un corrent o
massa d'aigua que no hagi estat colonitzat per aquest animal. [spa]

Carp (Cyprinus carpio)
The carp was introduced here at the beginning of this century and is a fish which is
widely-distributed on the Continent. It is difficult to find a river or lake here which does not
contain carp. Its great success in adapting is due to its ability to eat almost everything, as well
as its resistence to precarious environmental conditions such as high temperature, high levels
of water contamination and low oxygen levels. [eng]
