Description
Zander is a popular European game species of fish that is closely related to Perch. Zander is considered to be a hybrid of Pike and Perch, although it looks a lot more like a Pike due to its elongated body, with the spiny dorsal fin of a Perch. They usually grow to an average weight of 4-9lb (2-4kg). Similar to Perch, Zander are carnivorous, and feed mostly on other fish.
