Spring carp is a species endemic to my country and is only found in Erhai Lake, Yunnan.
It is larger in size and historically produced more. It is one of the main economic fish species in Erhai Lake. Since the late 1970s, falling water levels, excessive fishing, and improper introduction of new species have caused a sharp decline in the number of spring carps, and they are now rarely seen.
