Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) is a freshwater fish known for its rapid growth and adaptability. Originating from East Asia, it is now widely distributed across Asia, Europe, and North America. As a filter feeder, it helps improve water quality by consuming plankton and algae. Silver Carp is popular in aquaculture, especially in countries like China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, where it is farmed in large quantities. This fish is also known for its acrobatic behavior, leaping out of the water when startled. It typically thrives in slow-moving, warm freshwater environments, such as rivers, lakes, and backwaters.
