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. -Toptomcat22:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"The movement and introduction of carp for frivolous reasons such as sport fishingshould 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. --Agharo03:40, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
InRobert A. Heinlein's bookMethuselah's Children, carp are said to have unusually long lifespans, usually dying of unnatural causes and not succumbing to 'old age'. The book deals with human longevity and one researcher onboard ageneration ship remarks "...carp don't seem to die. They get killed, or eaten, or starve to death, or succumb to infection, but so far as we know they don't die." Does anyone know whether there is any foundation for this statement, or if it's just fiction? It would be interesting to read about.Phasmatisnox16:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The notion found it's way into Huxley'sAfter Many A Summer Dies the Swan where an early 19th C. British nobleman forms the notion that the longevity of carp might be transferred to a himan through eating them- particularly the uncooked innards. He is eventually found in an underground lair, seemingly centuries old, but degraded to the condition of an ape: but one who is wearing the Order of the Garter and hums a tune resembling Mozart.74.70.152.28 (talk)23:34, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's a similar articleCommon carp that doesn't link to this article. And this article doesn't link toCommon carp. What's the relationship between the two? Should they be merged? Or shouldCommon Carp be considered a daughter article to this one? --lk (talk)03:21, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This section is getting very promotional and usesWP:SPS to establish the notability of the material. I am going to tag that section, it needs better sources.Ward20 (talk)22:06, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
" 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)[reply]
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. ~~— Precedingunsigned comment added byCarptracker (talk •contribs)22:17, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Koi originated in japan not goldfish, goldfish were introduced to japan from china not the other way around, the wikipedia article on goldfish has links on sources for this. This article does not cite sources for goldfish originating in Japan.— Precedingunsigned comment added by65.60.220.22 (talk)23:34, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What does that have to do with the carp? Isn't it in an entirely different family?--104.246.16.241 (talk)00:09, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
Sorry, I can't figure out what this is trying to say...

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!Aflunters (talk)11:53, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The carp wikipedia page is becoming a meme on twitter and I think we should add that as a section on the page. Also people want the carp to be called sexy instead of oily.Sir2020 (talk)02:49, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
this carp twitter meme trend makes no sense we had other trends in the past and they were never added to wikipedia so why do it to this page you 5 year old memeposters?— Precedingunsigned comment added by115.73.220.167 (talk)03:31, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
