| Comments: | Naturally reproducing in Ooty Lake at Nilgiris. Formed an important fishery for a few years which declined drastically due to introduction of Cyprinus carpio. It is of negligible economic importance and easily interbreeds with Cyprinus carpio. This species has successfully established in the Indian water and is generally used for aquarium. It generally interbreeds with the common carp and obviously affects the aquaculture since it competes for food and space with other cultured species and also affects the indigenous fish species.
