About Pike-Perch (Zander)
Wikipedia Article About Pike-Perch on Wikipedia

Zander is a species of fish. The scientific name is Sander lucioperca (or Stizostedion lucioperca), and it is closely allied to perch. Zander are often called pike-perch as they resemble the pike with their elongated body and head, and the perch with their spiny dorsal fin. Zander are not, as is commonly believed, a pike and perch hybrid. In Europe, a second species (Lucioperca wolgensis) is limited to rivers in southern Russia and Hungary.

It is a common and popular game fish in Europe: it is tasty and may reach 20 kilograms in size. Typical catches, however, are considerably smaller, and most fishers are very happy with 3–5 kg zanders.

Zander thrives in water with rather low visibility, whereas the pike often dominates the predator fish niche in clear water: pikes use their vision to find prey, while zanders "listen" to the water, and are very active at night. However, they need plenty of oxygen and soon disappear from euthophy areas.
