The common carp (''Cyprinus carpio'') is a widespread freshwater fish of eutrophic waters in lakes and large rivers in Europe and Asia.〔Fishbase: (''Cyprinus carpio carpio'' Linnaeus, 1758 )〕〔Arkive: (Common carp (''Cyprinus carpio'') )〕 The wild populations are considered vulnerable to extinction, but the species has also been domesticated and introduced into environments worldwide, and is often considered a very destructive invasive species,〔 being included in the List of the world's 100 worst invasive species. It gives its name to the carp family: Cyprinidae. ==Taxonomy== The three subspecies are: *''C. c. carpio'' (mirror carp or European carp) is found in most of Europe (notably the Danube and Volga Rivers).〔〔Jian Feng Zhou, Qing Jiang Wu, Yu Zhen Ye & Jin Gou Tong (2003). Genetic divergence between ''Cyprinus carpio carpio'' and ''Cyprinus carpio haematopterus'' as assessed by mitochondrial DNA analysis, with emphasis on origin of European domestic carp (''Genetica'' 119: 93–97 )〕 *''C. c. yilmaz'' (Deniz carp) is found in Anatolia Turkey (notably around Çorum) and Victoria, Australia (around Merri Creek and Coburg Lake). *''C. c. haematopterus'' (Amur carp) is native to eastern Asia.〔〔Fishbase: (''Cyprinus carpio haematopterus'' Martens, 1876 )〕 It is related to the common goldfish (''Carassius auratus''), with which it is capable of interbreeding.〔Taylor, J., R. Mahon. 1977. Hybridization of ''Cyprinus carpio'' and ''Carassius auratus'', the first two exotic species in the lower Laurentian Great Lakes.
