Carp is a freshwater fish.

Carps have huge scales and two beards on each side of the upper palate. They live alone or in groups in ponds, lakes and rivers, with quiet and overgrown mud at the bottom. There is a habit of migration in small waters.

Strong adaptability, cold resistance, alkali resistance and hypoxia resistance. They can lay eggs in running water or still water, and their spawning places are mostly in aquatic plants, and their eggs are attached to aquatic plants for development. Carp is one of the freshwater fishes with the largest species, the widest distribution, the longest culture history and the highest yield. Sweet, flat and non-toxic.

Extended data:

Carp is a benthic omnivorous fish that eats both meat and vegetables. The bait spectrum is wide, the snout bone is developed, and it often feeds on mud. Carp is also a low-temperature animal, and its body temperature changes with the change of water temperature, so it does not need to consume energy to maintain a constant body temperature, so the total amount of bait intake is not large.

At the same time, carp, like most freshwater fish, belongs to a kind of fish without stomach, with short intestine and fast metabolism, so its feeding habit is to eat less and eat more. The digestive function of carp is closely related to the water temperature, and its feeding is seasonal.

Winter (especially under the ice) is basically in a semi-dormant state, and body fat is exhausted in winter. Spring is coming, and it is eager to eat high-protein food to supplement it. As late autumn and winter approach, in order to hoard fat, there will also be a peak period of "grasping food", and it is also based on high-protein bait.
