ix. Have googled this one, and can give a hint: the fish alluded to in the q is described by wp like this:

"The ____ (Scardinius erythrophthalmus) is a small fish, a widespread member of the family Cyprinidae.

The ____ is a bentho-pelagic freshwater fish, widely spread in Europe and middle Asia, around the basins of the North, Baltic Black, Caspian and Aral seas. It has been artificially introduced to Ireland, USA, Morocco, Madagascar, Tunisia, New Zealand, Canada and Spain.

Morphologically, this species is very similar to the Roach (Rutilus rutilus), with which it can be easily confused. It can be identified by eye colour (deep blood-red as opposed to yellow) or counting the soft rays in the dorsal fin (8-9 compared to 10-12). Confusingly, these species can hybridise, producing intermediate forms. The ____ can also hybridise with the carp bream Abramis brama.

In New Zealand and Canada it is considered a pest fish due to impacts on native species."
