Sander lucioperca
Biological group : Fish
Family : Percidae
Class : Actinopterygii
Order : Perciformes
Environment : Freshwater_brackish
Zander inhabit large rivers, eutrophic and often turbid lakes, as well as some brackish coastal waters and estuaries.
They are mobile predators and may undertake spawning migrations. Individuals can show strong fidelity to particular areas and often forage effectively under low-light conditions.
Adults feed predominantly on fish, frequently targeting small schooling or open-water species.
Spawning generally occurs in spring as water temperatures rise. The male prepares and defends a nest on suitable substrate and guards and fans the eggs after spawning.
