Talk:Carp

message: Hello, while living in Utah, USA I came upon a lake at a bird sanctuary.  This lake was swarming with carp.  It turns out the early Mormon settlers brought carp with them to use as a food source.  It turns out the settlers found the carp to not very pallable.  Something like this may be noteworth....
Help requested. I am writing about a fish locally known as "Aspen", translated to "rapacious carp". Anyone knows what thiseferences, otherwise it seems more like speculation than actual fact.
An expansion of the Carp's place in Chinese mythology and legend would be nice. -Toptomcat 22:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

message: "The movement and introduction of carp for frivolous reasons such as sport fishing should not be tolerated."
My emphasis added. Does this constitute a breach of NPOV? Sounds like the imperative is a bias, but I'm not exactly sure. --Agharo 03:40, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

message: " Several species of carp are listed as invasive species by the U.S. Department of Agriculture," does anyone know what species. we have cought several carp here and just through them back some pics would be nice or a web URL.urName (talk) 17:02, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: what species

message: It is common shorthand to use the term "carp" to mean common carp.  It is the only carp (using the term in the sense that most people have - a large body cyprinid from Europe or Asia) we have had in this country until the invasion of bighead, silver, grass and black carps, and in most of the country it is still the only carp we have.  The reference refers to common carp only, not to all carps.  Common carp us usually classified as an oily fish, but the other carps are not.  Therefore, the first statement in this document is incorrect as referring to all carps.  Silver carp whole body lipid counts are usually less than 7%, and in US waters are usually less than 4%, exceedingly low numbers for freshwater fish.  So I removed the "oily" reference in the first sentence.  But I agree that this file needs to be merged with the common carp file, or possibly the Asian carp file, or some of both.  This whole article is very confused and mixed up regarding these different species.  
Regarding what species of carp are invasive (above question) all carps are invasive in the United States.  In most other countries they are not considered invasive because they are considered sport and food fish, or they are native. Everything is native somewhere.  In some places where carps have been introduced, some people consider them obnoxious invaders and others consider them food.  Depends on your perspective I guess.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I was looking at this article and noticed that it has very few links to other Wikipedias.  By going to the German site "Karpfen," I found out that there is a large universe of links to Common Carp.  Yet I never would have discovered this from this "Carp" article.  Can this somehow by changed? Kdammers (talk) 03:35, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Partial sentence 

message: Hello! I was reading this article and saw a missing source:
"Some consider all cyprinid fishes carp, and the family Cyprinidae itself is often known as the carp family."
I had a quick google, and couldn't really find anything to confirm this? I think it should probably be deleted if it can't be confirmed. 
Thanks!
