How do you get rid of carp?

Train the carp to concentrate in a small area. This can be done by periodically and consistently providing a food source, such as fish pellets. The fish will learn to come for food to a certain area at a certain time. You can also use dry dog food, corn or worms as bait.

Catch the carp with a net. Use a large throw net or a net that can be pulled rapidly through the concentrated fish. After collecting the fish, train/feed the remaining carp without scaring them for a few days before attempting to net them again.

Collect the fish in a fish pen. If you have built or can build a fish pen, train the fish to enter the pen by feeding with fish pellets. Close the pen after it is filled with carp. You can then net the fish individually

Use a fish trap. A large fish trap that is kept baited can be useful to remove a large number of carp. Empty the trap every few days. It is sometimes useful to leave a few carp in the trap to attract other carp into the trap.

Remove the carp. If you are going to transport the live carp to another area, make sure you have a container that is large enough for the number of fish you plan to transport, and is aerated so the fish don't suffocate.

It's flesh isn't as tender and flaky as other white fish like cod, but it's similar.

What do fish look like when they're sleeping?

a fish, since it is in the water, and has no eyelids, would float underwater in place, with its eyes open. this is unlike the shark, who needs to constantly keep swimming to stay up in the water because it does not have air bladders to keep it up. if the shark were to stop swimming, it would immediately sink to the bottom. thank you very much for reading my answer.
