It's quite common here in Asia & is a source of food. I must say besides being a all right fishing fish, it's not bad eating too if one knows how to prepare it.
I live in the U.S. all the carp we have here are invasive, truthfully...I don't want them around but I do like carp and their relatives all the same. We do have suckers though, they are pretty "carp-like" I guess, despite being from a different family. I like the Crucian carp, would not mind owning one of those some day, till then goldfish will do.

Don’t take the gibes about the bow fishing to bad you will get plenty more it’s an English thing
Dan and I don’t have the joys of Bass fishing like you do 
but as you probably know Europeans take Carp fishing very seriously. But a good few Americans and Canadians are getting into it now. http://www.canadiancarpclub.on.ca/
