Species Overview

Common Carp

The common carp is one of the most widely introduced freshwater fish globally. Originally domesticated in East Asia over 2,000 years ago, it is a sacred fish in many cultures and the primary target species in European coarse fishing.

Zebra Danio

The zebrafish is a small cyprinid native to South Asia's freshwater streams. Its distinctive blue-and-gold horizontal stripes and hardy nature make it a popular aquarium fish. It is also the most widely used vertebrate model organism in genetic research.
