Salmo carpio, also known as the carpione (carpione del Garda[1][2] or Lake Garda carpione[3]) is a salmonid fish endemic to Lake Garda in Italy. It has been introduced to a number of other lakes in Italy and elsewhere but unsuccessfully in all cases.[1] The population in Lake Garda has been strongly declining, and is considered critically endangered.[2][3] The main threats are due to overfishing, pollution and possibly competition from introduced species such as Coregonus and other Salmonidae.[4]
