The asp is the only fish in our country from the Cyprinidae family (of the carps) which mainly feeds on fish. It violently attacks small fish banks, especially the common bleak (Alburnus alburnus). It generally lives in large rivers that can be found as high as the plateau areas. It is a diurnal animal, actively swimming in order to feed itself.
