Thanks for the comment! I’ve corrected the wording there. Am I correct in my understanding that even though the pond loach is the most commonly farmed species, the total number of farmed carp (across all the different carp species) is quite a bit higher?
Yes the three top carp* species alone make up 19 billion individuals vs 11 billion pond loach
*I’m treating any large member of the Cyprinidae family as a “carp” ( common names are difficult at the best of the times and even worse for fish) for these purposes
