The engineered crucian carp, also known as the Xiangyun crucian carp, is a new triploid fish species cultivated after more than ten years of dedicated research by researchers led by Academician Liu Yun of the College of Life Sciences at Hunan Normal University. The engineered crucian carp grows fast, 3 times faster than ordinary crucian carp. It has characteristics such as sterility, fast growth, a wide range of food, a high survival rate and tolerance to low temperatures and low oxygen, making it very suitable for artificial farming. The engineered crucian carp has a completely crucian carp body shape, with a small head and a large body. The head, scales and fin rays are uniform in color, and its scales are not obviously different from those of crucian carp. Only the scales on the upper part of the line from the dorsal fin to the caudal fin (especially near the caudal fin) are rather disorderly arranged. On careful observation of its snout, a pair of extremely thin and short rostral protuberances can be seen.
