===Predation===
A single carp can lay over a million eggs in a year.<ref name=arkive/> Eggs and fry often fall victim to bacteria, fungi, and the vast array of tiny predators in the pond environment. Carp that survive to the juvenile stage are preyed upon by other fish such as the [[northern pike]] and [[largemouth bass]], and several [[bird]]s (including [[Great cormorant|cormorants]], [[Grey heron|herons]], [[goosander]]s, and [[osprey]]s)<ref>Cramp, S.
