Species Overview

Northern Pike

The northern pike is an apex predator of freshwater lakes and rivers across the Northern Hemisphere. With its elongated body, duck-bill snout, and razor-sharp teeth, it ambushes prey with explosive bursts of speed.

ザンダー

The zander is the European equivalent of the walleye and one of the most prized freshwater predators in Europe. Its excellent low-light vision makes it a crepuscular hunter. Its delicate white flesh is considered among the finest of freshwater fish.
