Kollar Carp
The Kollar carp (Cyprinus carpio x Carassius auratus) is a hybrid fish obtained by crossing common carp (''Cyprinus carpio'') and goldfish (''Carassius auratus''). Described by the Austrian zoologist Johann Jacob Heckel, its binomial name pays tribute to his compatriot, entomologist Vincenz Kollar. Having been considered a separate species from its original relatives, this fish has as synonym ''Carpio kollarii'' (Heckel, 1836). Although this carp is most often found in fish farms, they have also been recorded from the wild. References * Georges Cuvier and Achille Valenciennes, t. premier, Paris, F. G.
