Wikipedia Abstract

Salmo carpio, also known as the carpione (carpione del Garda or Lake Garda carpione) is a salmonid fish endemic to Lake Garda in Italy. It has been introduced to a number of other lakes in Italy and elsewhere but unsuccessfully in all cases. The population in Lake Garda has been strongly declining, and is considered critically endangered.The main threats are due to overfishing, pollution and possibly competition from introduced species such as Coregonus and Salmonidae.
