Carp is a term with various uses and meanings according to its etymological origin. Coming from the Latin word carp and with more remote origin in the Gothic karpa, a carp is a fish with a small mouth without teeth, large scales and a single dorsal fin.
In addition to the above, it must be established that there are three subspecies of carp, according to the studies and research carried out:
• One that exists in East Asia and is known by the name of “cyprinus carpio haematopterus.
• The so-called European carp, the “cyprinus carpio carpio”.
• The carp from Southeast Asia, which goes by the name “cyprinus carpio rubrofuscus”.
Likewise, another important series of characteristics that define this type of fish should not be overlooked, such as a size that is usually between 60 and 90 centimeters, an approximate weight of nine kilos or its great capacity to withstand even weather conditions. most adverse.
We must not forget either that it is an omnivorous fish, which can even reach 65 years of life, that it has very fine and long scales, and that it is usually found in what are shallow waters.
Carp, which live in fresh waters, are greenish on the top and yellow on the bottom. This physostomous teleost fish stands out for its high life expectancy. There are several species of carp, many of which serve as food for humans. Other carp are raised in artificial ponds and lakes as part of the aquarium hobby.
For example: “My father caught three carp on the dock of the lagoon”, “Yesterday I visited the Japanese Garden and fed the carp that were swimming in one of the ponds”, “Carp is my favorite fish because of its colors”.
From the Quechua karpa, a tent is a large canopy that covers a wide area. In Spain, a tent is understood to be the awning that covers a circus. In Latin America, on the other hand, the concept of a tent is associated with the tent, beach tent or tent that is set up at a popular festival: “They have already installed the circus tent in the park”, “I think tomorrow we will take the tent to the beach to spend the day by the sea ”, “ I don’t know whether to book a hotel or travel with the tent ”.
Starting from this set of meanings, it should not be overlooked that nowadays tents are often used to refer to large stores made with very resistant materials that are placed with the clear objective of hosting the public at a fair or event of some relevance.
In this sense, in order to protect from weather conditions, tents of this type are installed in all kinds of single-theme fairs, for example, to house stands and stalls with the products that are put on sale and that also allow tasting them.
Carp, from the French grappe, can also be used to name the segment of grapes.
