"Asian" carp refer to an entire suite of introduced species. The good old common carp (feed extensively on aquatic insects on the lake/river bottom) is incuded! However, the grass carp (true herbivore, eats plants), bighead carp (zooplankton), silver carp (phytoplankton - the microscopic plants), and black carp (molluscivore) are also in the "group." The silver carp are the ones that jump so much, hit people in boats, and commonly land in the boats.
