"An unusual natural (wild) hybrid common carp x goldfish from Douglas Reservoir
(weak barbels, 31 lateral line scales, 18 dorsal fin rays, and 36 gill rakers)"

I think someone at TWRA is trying too hard with the "species" description. Who knows exactly what these things are by origin? It's like finding a Jack Russell / Chihuahua mix dog at the animal shelter and wondering kind of wolf it is since the meristics are screwy.
