Real-world information
Carassius carassius is a freshwater fish of the Cyprinidae family, and is the type species to the main Carassius genus of carps, in which other carps are often also referred to as "crucian carps". It is spread through the north of Europe and is thought to be heavily farmed. Carassius carassius are commonly used as food in various European regions, particularly in Slavic cuisine. This fish is not under threat.

Crucian carp are also kept as pets in bigger aquariums and water gardens, but are not as common to obtain commercially as other attractive fish such as the koi and the goldfish. Some sources even state that the goldfish (Carassius auratus) could be a cultivated breed of crucian carp taken from the wild, and these two fish have been successfully bred in lab conditions, leading to an enhanced hybrid between the two but with most being sterile.

Its name derives from the Low German karusse or karutze, possibly from Medieval Latin "coracinus" which means "a kind of river fish". In Japanese "funa" (フナ) refers to both the fish and the genus.
