It has been suggested that this is a heavily farmed fish worldwide; FAO's newest statistics from 2008 (pub. 2011) shows total production C. Crassius at 1,957,337 tonnes, worth US$2,135,857,000, ranked 9th in worldwide in aquaculture, including marine fish and crustaceans,[20] however this statistics treats the Asian C. gibelio carp as a subspecies of the European crucian carp,[21] and it is evident that the greater bulk of this number is from the Asian fish farmed in China.[21]
