Abstract

Often called the European counterpart of the walleye, the zander is a slender, greenish percid whose large, light-gathering eyes make it a crepuscular predator. Marked by eight to ten dark vertical bars and a first dorsal fin of spotted rays, it grows to 1.3 metres in the rivers and large lakes of northern and central Europe and western Asia. It tolerates mildly brackish conditions in the Baltic and Caspian margins and hunts most actively at dawn and dusk. Its lean, firm, almost fat-free white flesh yields easy boneless fillets and is regarded as the finest freshwater eating fish across Central and Eastern Europe. The species is assessed as Least Concern.
