(Practical Fishkeeping): Scientists from Japan have discovered that the native strain of the wild carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Japan is in danger of extirpation via large-scale introductions of domesticated strains from Eurasia.
In a study published in a recent issue of the journal Molecular Ecology, Kohji Mabuchi, Hiroshi Senou and Mutsumi Nishida conducted a survey of mitochondrial DNA sequences (complete D-loop region) from wild carp collected from 11 localities in Japan.
