"The black carp is in the minnow and carp family, Cyprinidae. One of the black carp's distinguishing characteristics is its pharyngeal teeth and this is reflected in its scientific name. Its genus Mylopharyngodon is made up of the greek word "mylo" meaning "mill" plus the Greek word "pharynx" meaning "throat" and the Greek word "odous" meaning "teeth"." (Quoted from paper)
