Native Japanese populations of the species have been widely affected by introgression due to human introductions, except for the population of north Lake Biwa ( Mabuchi et al. 2005 , Mabuchi et al. 2006 , Mabuchi et al. 2008 , Mabuchi et al. 2010 ), so therefore we regarded the carp populations of the region as non-native species. Distribution Laos, Vietnam, and China (Amur to Red River drainages). Notes This taxon is identical with Cyprinus carpio of Hosoya (2013) . This species was observed almost always from lentic environments, but occasionally from lotic environments.
