Grass carp and carp are both freshwater fish species that contain spines in their bodies. In addition to the main spines, their bodies also contain some small spines. Compared to the spines of grass carp and carp, the grass carp has a few more spines and the carp has fewer spines. This is because of the difference in the shape and construction of their bodies. Carp has a larger stomach and a smaller tail, and the meaty part is mainly in the front and center, while grass carp has a more proportional body structure. Therefore, the weight of carp and grass carp is the same, carp will contain less spines than grass carp.

Both grass carp and carp are edible. Although they have fewer spines compared to carp, both actually contain quite a few spines in their bodies. In addition to the main spines that run through the front and back of their bodies, there are also a number of small spines that cling to them as well as random spines. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the time of consumption, especially in the children to eat.
