Mirror carp, regionally known as Israeli carp,[note 1] are a type of domesticated fish commonly found in Europe but widely introduced or cultivated elsewhere. They are a variety of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) developed through selective breeding. The name "mirror carp" originates from their scales' resemblance to mirrors. They can grow in excess of 60 lb (27 kg) – the last few British record fish have all been mirror carp.[citation needed]
