THESE STRAINS ARE DEFINED, FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE CIO, AS THE ORIGINAL SPECIES WILD CARP (CONSIDERED VULNERABLE TO EXTINCTION BY THE INTERNATIONAL UNION FOR CONSERVATION OF NATURE) AND THE FERAL DESCENDANTS OF CARP INTRODUCED TO WATERS IN ENGLAND AND WALES BEFORE 1850 WHERE EVIDENCE – IN THE FORM OF HISTORIC RECORD OR FISH PHENOTYPE – SUGGESTS THAT THEY HAVE SINCE AVOIDED CROSSBREEDING WITH MORE MODERN STRAINS OF CARP.
