Asian carp is a term used to describe silver carp, big head carp and sometimes grass carp or white amur. The term does not generally refer to common carp. Hope this helps.

I would suggest you hit a textbook or two, and other source materials, for the more suitable answers rather than relying on an open forum. That is why it is called research
