About Perch
Wikipedia Article About Perch on Wikipedia

A perch is a usually freshwater bony fish belonging to the family Osteichthyes. Perch, of which there are three species, lend their name to the largest order of vertebrates: the Perciformes, from the Greek perke meaning perch, and the Latin forma meaning shape. All perciform fish share the perch's general morphology.

The European perch (Perca fluviatilis) is found in Europe and northern Asia. It is up to 50 cm long, and may weigh up to 4.75 kg. It is usually dark green with red fins. It has been successfully introduced in New Zealand and Australia where it is called redfin perch.

The Balkhash perch (Perca schrenkii) is found in Kazakhstan; in Lake Balkhash and Lake Alakol. It is very similar to the European perch, and grows to a comparable size.
