The body is high with a thick back, moderately compressed from the sides. The scales are large and smooth to the touch. The color varies depending on the habitat. The golden crucian carp can reach a body length of more than 50 cm and a weight of over 3 kg, the silver crucian carp - a length of 40 cm and a weight of up to 2 kg. The crucian carp reaches sexual maturity in the 3-4th year. They spawn in the spring, eggs (up to 300 thousand) are laid on vegetation. In places with a harsh climate, crucian carp hibernate, while withstanding complete freezing of the reservoir to the bottom. Crucian carp feed on vegetation, small invertebrates, zooplankton, zoobenthos and detritus. They live exclusively in marshy and lowland lakes and rivers. In mountain lakes and in general in mountainous areas, crucian carp is a rather rare phenomenon. Crucian carp is a very tenacious fish, so small crucian carp are often used when catching pike as live bait. Crucian carp are commercial fish and an object of pond farming. SPECIES - The genus includes 5 species. The most famous are: common, or golden crucian carp (Carassius carassius). Distributed from Central Europe to the Lena basin. silver crucian carp (Carassius gibelio). Originally inhabited the Pacific Ocean basin, the rivers of Siberia and the lower reaches of the Aral Sea, but was artificially resettled in many bodies of water in Europe and Siberia. In some bodies of water, the population of silver crucian carp is represented only by females. They spawn with males of related fish species (roach, golden crucian carp, tench, bream, carp and others). True fertilization does not occur, since the sperm does not fertilize, but only stimulates the development of eggs. In this case, only females appear in the offspring (see the article Gynogenesis). Goldfish (Carassius auratus) is a form of crucian carp, artificially bred in China from silver crucian carp. Currently, there are many breeds: telescope, shubunkin, comet, lionhead and others. The common goldfish has retained the greatest resemblance to its ancestor - crucian carp. Externally, gold and silver crucian carp are similar. In some bodies of water, both species live together. At the same time, the gold crucian carp is gradually being replaced by the silver one. Occasionally, a hybrid of the silver and gold crucian carp is found.
