Katie Twomey Elizabeth A. Edwards 1982 <p>The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is a native of Asia. It is now found on every continent except Antarctica (Jester 1974) and in all 48 contiguous States (Sigler 1958). The northern limit to carp distribution appears to be the 18° C isotherm (Keleher 1956). The common carp hybridizes in nature with the goldfish (Carassius auratus) (Bardach et al. 1972; Smith 1979).</p> application/pdf en U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Habitat Suitability Index Models: Common carp reports
