It's native in the Far East, but it's been introduced across the whole former USSR. It's considered better than most other forms of carp because it grows big enough there's enough meat between the bones.
You can buy technoplankton, but some fishermen make it themselves, especially when they are short on money. For some of them fishing is not a hobby, but a source of protein. It's basically a mixture of various flour, some sort of binder (like sugar or powdered milk) and optionally a source of strong delicious smell (I've seen ready-made ones that smell like strawberry, honey, baked milk, aniseed, garlic and... fleas). You mix all this into a barely wet dough and press into a dense block (about 2 ounces) that fits onto the tackle (or inside it, if it has a cage like the one from Amazon). It slowly dissolves in the water and forms a tasty cloud that the silver carp will try to slurp.
