The carp is a common freshwater fish. Whiskers are one of the important structures of fish, which can be accurately called "mouth whiskers", but not all fish have whiskers. Carp are also bearded. Both male and female carp have beards. Both wild and farmed carp can generally observe obvious whiskers around their mouths, and the older they are, the longer their whiskers may be. However, some carp will cause beard breakage due to acquired reasons, at this time may not be able to observe their beard, but they are born with beard.
As mentioned above, carp have beards. The number of whiskers in carp is 2 pairs, most carp have 2 pairs of whiskers, but some carp have more or less whiskers due to species or genetic reasons. The whiskers of carp play an important role in their life activities and are indispensable. Whiskers are important tactile organs of carp. Because carp are benthic fish, their eyesight is not particularly good, and the light around them is relatively dark, so they need the help of sensitive tactile organs to hunt and avoid enemy attacks. In fact, with the help of whiskers, carp can prey on a variety of animals in the water as their own food.
