People began to fish at the dawn of human civilization. The oldest fishing hook found by archaeologists is about forty two thousand years. Common carp adapt so well to new habitats for them that they begin to crowd out all other local inhabitants. Over the past centuries, breeders have bred a huge number of different species of this fish. And here
wild common carps are now on the verge of extinction due to excessive fishing, and they were even included in the international Red Book. In most cases, carps grow up to 30-40 cm in length and weigh up to 3-4 kg. The largest specimens ever caught were more than one meter long and weighed more than 20 kg. Their meat has excellent taste, and the resistance that large specimens have when playing make the fishing process very reckless. Dwellers in temperate climates carps hibernate for the winter. To do this, they find depressions at the bottom and hide in them. At the same time, their body is covered with a thick layer of mucus, forming something like a cocoon, and breathing slows down to the limit. Throughout the winter, the fish sleeps and does not eat at all, waking up only in the spring.
Carps cannot live in salt water, all their species are either freshwater or semi-anadromous, that is, they are able to exist in brackish water, for example, in the seas near the confluence of large rivers, which desalinate the water. Common carp are absolutely omnivorous. In many countries, carp are one of the main objects of sport fishing, and in some farms they are specially bred for this purpose. Carp was first used for food as early as 1000 BC. in China. Fishing for carp is carried out almost all year round.
