Cyprinus rubrofuscus, the Amur carp, is a species of cyprinid fish, and is the wild form of the well-known koi. It is widespread in the fresh waters of eastern Asia, native to China , Korea, Russia , Vietnam and Laos from the Amur to Red River basins, and has also been introduced outside its native range.[1] It is known for its muddy flavor and boniness, hence, it is not commonly eaten by locals except when stewed.[2]

In the past, it was considered a subspecies of the common (or European) carp, often under the scientific name C. carpio haematopterus (a synonym), but the two differ in genetics[3][4] and meristics, leading recent authorities to recognize them as separate species.[1][2] Although earlier studies also have found minor differences between northern ("haematopterus") and southern ("viridiviolaceus") populations in Eastern Asia in both meristics[5] and genetics,[3] later studies have found that they are not monophyletic.[6] However, any phylogenetic structure is difficult to establish because of widespread translocations of carp between different regions.[6] The parent species of the domesticated koi carp is an East Asian carp, possibly C. rubrofuscus (not C. carpio).[7][8]
