Wikipedia Abstract

The mrigal carp (Cirrhinus cirrhosus, also Cirrhinus mrigala), also known as the mrigal and the white carp, is a species of ray-finned fish in the carp family. Native to streams and rivers in India, the only surviving wild population is in the Cauvery River, leading to its IUCN rating as vulnerable. It is widely aquafarmed and introduced populations exist outside its native range. It reaches a maximum length of 1 m (3.3 ft).
