Carp

Common Carp is a fresh water fish of the family of the "gymnopones." It is used on our tables, its meat being considered a most excellent food.

German Carp.—A species of carp partially bare, the back and belly being the only parts covered with two or three rows of golden scales, half as large again as the common carp.

Salmon Carp.—A common carp, the meats having acquired through local circumstances a reddish tint and a taste analogous to the salmon.
