#black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus)
#Black carp are elongated fish with a fusiform body. They appear duskygray, brown or bluish black and have dark fins. Their dorsal fin is highand pointed. In comparison to grass carp, the distances from the eye to thesuperior and inferior edges of the pre-operculum arerespectively longer, contributing to the elongate appearance of the scalelesshead. Unlike in grass carp, the upper lip does not appear to protrudebeyond the lower lip when viewed from above with the fish's mouthclosed. Black carp have large cycloid scales ontheir body and a forked tail fin behind a broad caudal peduncle.
