Distribution and Habitat
Distribution: Eastern and central Europe, Sweden and Finland,
Western Asia; introduced into several European countries. This species has
depleted stocks of native fish in some areas where it has been introduced for angling.
Several countries report adverse ecological impact after introduction.
Water Type: Fresh, Brack & Salt
Biology
Inhabit deep, calm waters of lakes, reservoirs, canals and rivers. Feed mainly on fishes.
The habitats occupied by S. lucioperca are likely to vary during different seasons, as shown by
radio-tracking study done in the United States. In autumn, the adults prefer a substrate of large pebbles in 1.20-1.80 m depth.
In winter, when the temperature approaches 5°C, S. lucioperca are found in pits and trenches where they overwinter.
When the temperature rises above 2.8°C in spring, they commence upstream migration.
Spawning takes place at a temperature of around 11°C on substrate composed of large pebbles in a current of 1.40-1.50 m/sec.
After spawning, the parents drift downstream and stay in pools, 1.20-1.80 m deep, for two weeks. Mortalities affect the females
after spawning. In summer, Z. lucioperca prefer a substrate of pebbles and are found at variable depths, often on the upstream
edge of pits and trenches where there is a rupture of current. When the temperature reaches 30°C, they seek deep pools.
Spawning is earlier in lower latitudes. Pale yellow eggs are found attached to emergent vegetation or stones and gravel
Popularly fished by sport fishers. Its flesh is succulent. Utilized fresh or frozen and eaten steamed, broiled and microwaved.
An individual weighing 19 kg was reportedly caught in 1959 in Starnberger, Bavaria, Germany. The Lake Hjälmaren Pikeperch
Fish-Trap fishery of this species has been certified by the Marine Stewardship Council as well-managed and sustainable
