A carp is a physostomous teleost fish.
Carp is a term with several uses and meanings according to its etymological origin. Coming from the Latin word carpa and with a more remote origin in the Gothic karpa , a carp is a small-mouthed fish without teeth, large scales and a single dorsal fin .
Carps, which live in freshwater, are greenish on top and yellow below. This physostomous teleost fish is notable for its long life expectancy. There are several species of carp, many of which are used as food for humans . Other carp are bred in artificial ponds and lakes as part of the aquarium hobby .
For example: "My father caught three carp at the lagoon dock" , "Yesterday I visited the Japanese Garden and fed the carp swimming in one of the ponds" , "Carp is my favorite fish because of its colors" .
Types of tent
In addition to the above, it must be established that there are three subspecies of carp, according to the studies and research carried out:
- One that exists in East Asia and is known by the name of cyprinus carpio haematopterus .
- The so-called European carp or cyprinus carpio carpio .
- The Southeast Asian carp, which is known as Cyprinus carpio rubrofuscus .
Other features
Likewise, we must not overlook another important series of characteristics that define this type of fish, such as a size that is usually between 60 and 90 centimetres, an approximate weight of nine kilos or its great capacity to resist even the most adverse weather conditions.
We must not forget that it is an omnivorous fish , which can even live up to 65 years, which has very fine and long scales and is usually found in shallow waters.
The idea of a tent can refer to a tent or an awning.
The tent as an awning or awning
From the Quechua karpa , a tent is a large awning that covers a large enclosure. In Spain , a tent is understood to be the awning that covers a circus. In Latin America , on the other hand, the concept of tent is associated with the tent , beach tent or tent that is set up at a popular festival : «They have already set up the circus tent in the park» , «I think that tomorrow we are going to take the tent to the beach to spend the day by the sea» , «I don't know whether to book a hotel or travel with the tent» .
Based on this set of meanings, we must not overlook the fact that nowadays we often talk about tents to refer to large stores made of very resistant materials that are put up with the aim of hosting the public at a fair or event of a certain importance .
In this sense, in order to provide protection from the weather conditions, tents of this type are installed at all types of single-theme fairs, for example, to house stands and stalls with the products that are for sale and which also allow people to taste them.
Finally, carp –from the French grappe– can also be used to refer to a bunch of grapes .
