Carp are bottom feeders that accumulate toxins in polluted waters.

Sure. That's why they farm raise them in Asia. European carp, anyways.

Asian species are a different story - some of them are filter feeders. Some other European species don't have bottom feeding mouth parts as well (Crucian, Prussian).

So are catfish and there's a healthy market for them.

Most catfish are farm raised in reasonably clean water.
