Various species of carp have been domesticated and reared as food fish across Europe and Asia for thousands of years. Although the carp was an important aquatic food item, as more fish species have become readily available for the table, the importance of carp culture in Western Europe has diminished. Demand has declined, partly due to the appearance of more desirable table fish such as trout and salmon through intensive farming, and environmental constraints. Selective breeding programs for the common carp include improvement in growth, shape, and resistance to disease. The major carp species used traditionally in Chinese aquaculture are the black, grass, silver and bighead carp.
