Carp

The image shown is a representative illustration and does not depict every individual animal in this category.

Total number of species: 30

Carp are adaptable freshwater fish from the Cyprinidae family, originally native to Europe and Asia but now widespread across the globe. Recognizable by their broad bodies and bottom-feeding behavior, some species, like the common carp, can grow quite large and live for decades. Their size and steady movement make them a notable presence in many temperate freshwater dive sites.
