A new strain group of common carp: The genetic differences and admixture events between Cyprinus carpio breeds.

ABSTRACT: Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) has an outstanding economic importance in freshwater aquaculture due to its high adaptive capacity to both food and environment. In fact, it is the third most farmed fish species worldwide according to the Food and Agriculture Organization. More than four million tons of common carp are produced annually in aquaculture, and more than a hundred thousand tons are caught from the wild. Historically, the common carp was also the first fish species to be domesticated in ancient China, and now, there is a huge variety of domestic carp strains worldwide. In the present study, we used double digestion restriction site-associated DNA sequencing to genotype several European common carp strains and showed that they are divided into two distinct groups. One of them
