I wanted to add a new section but it wouldn't let me edit, so could someone who can please copy and paste this in (Could you please tell me when you do so on my page and also how does one become able to edit such pages? Cheers):

Section heading: Anoxia

During winter Crassius crassius is able to live in entirely anoxic conditions by doing anaerobic respiration, producing ethanol. During summer the fish is able to do this to a limited extent, but the winter phenotype can sustain this for several weeks. Experimentally the fish has lived anoxically for 140 days. Longer periods of anoxia can be tolerated in cooler water, as colder conditions lower the metabolic rate. Alcohol production is mainly done in the muscle tissues, but also occurs in the liver, where the process is thought to have originated. Goldfish are also able to produce alcohol in muscle tissues, but to a much more limited extent.

Family

The family is of course the Carp family, not the Common Carp family. I'd fix it but it is locked.MacroMyco (talk) 01:02, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I like how there are many sections in this article that have a relation to human involvement and the impacts of this species. Some of the long sentences can be broken up so that they are easier to read. The last section could possibly use a name change to make the topic focus clearer. All the sections are very well organized, and I like how some of them are unique and specific. Nothing seemed to be off-topic and all the section lengths seem to be fair with the amount of information provided and importance. There is no bias or convincing towards a particular point of view. There were only facts. The words used in the article are neutral and did not pull to one side. The article is heavily sourced and equal distribution of journals and other websites with self-published articles. There is no one source that seems to be overused. All of the references used seem to be shown in the article from what has been provided.

Some more crucian carp sources?

Maybe sciencedirect.com has some interesting info about crucian carp? Also not sure where to find on Wikipedia about whether sciencedirect.com articles are reliable sources. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 06:01, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Images show Carassius gibelio

Both images show Carassius gibelio, not Carassius carassius.

Carassius carassius can be separated from C. gibelio by the shape of the dorsal fin, which is convex in C. carassius and concave in C. gibelio. Compare to this photo of a C. carassius: https://fishbase.se/photos/PicturesSummary.php?resultPage=5&ID=270&what=species 31.211.215.201 (talk) 10:01, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
