Ruffe

This is the Wiki page for the Ruffe found in Trollsporet Nature Reserve.

Description

The Ruffe, also known as the Eurasian Ruffe or Pope, is a freshwater fish found in temperate regions of Europe and Northern Asia. It has been introduced into the Great Lakes of North America, reportedly with unfortunate results, wherein it has become invasive and reproduces faster than other species.

The Ruffe has the capacity to reproduce at an extremely high rate. A Ruffe usually matures in two to three years, but a ruffe that lives in warmer waters has the ability to reproduce in the first year of life. A single female has the potential to lay from 130,000 to 200,000 eggs annually.

Ruffe will leave the deep dark water where they prefer and journey to warmer shallow water for spawning.
