Might be a sort of freshwater fish, the solitary living variety inside the family Esocidaeâ??the esocids which were endemic to North America and Eurasia during the Paleogene through present. The types of this variety are known as pike and pickerel. The sort species is E. lucius, the northern pike.
What does a pike look like?
Nothern pike: Northern pike are most oftenly olive green, concealing from yellow to white along the gut. The flank is set apart with short, light bar-like spots and a few a few dull spots on the balances. Now and again, the blades are rosy.
Does pike bite humans?
While two or three reports have embroiled Northern pike in assaults on swimmers, these fish truly represent no risk to people (except if you get your fingers trapped in their mouths). The story is diverse for the minuscule fishes they go after. These fishes are been known to chase in packs, practically like wolves.
What if pike bites you?
On the off chance that a pike chomps your fingers you're in for a lot of pain. Their teeth are fairly little, yet they're needle-sharp and that they cut skin easily. Heaps of them sit with a regressive calculated rake so on the off chance that you are attempting to pull the fish off, they test your skin considerably further. You'll drain.
Biological Species of pikes:
• Nothern Pike
• Muskellunge
• American pickerel
• Amur pike
• Chain pickerel
• Esox cislpinus
• Aquitanian pike
• Champsocephalus esox
Nothern Pike:
This pike is specie of carnivorous fish, they are typicalm of brack water this has more salinity when compared to fresh waters but not such as sea water.
Muskellunge: This muskellunge is often shortened to muskie or musky, it is specie of large fresh water fish its native is North America. This is the biggest individual from the pike family.
American Pickerel: In this we have two subspecies
Redfin pickerel, E. americanus
Grass pickerel, Esox americanus vermiculatus
Both subspecies are native to North America. They are not to be mistaken for their forceful partner the Northern pike.
Amur Pike: this pike is also known as blackspotted pike, this amur pike is from Amur river, it is closely related to northern pike.
Chain pickerel: it is specie of freshwater fish in the family of pike Chain pickerel may be distinguished from northern pike by the hard bony flap covering the gills.
Esox cisalpinus: it is specie of freshwater fish it has customarily been viewed as a southern European variation of the broad northern pike.
Aquitanian pike: this pikes native is Charente to the Adour drainages in France, there are records of its introduction in the small coastal French Mediterranean rivers out of the Rhône itself.
Champsocephalus esox: This is specie of crocodile ice fish this species has a whitish body, dull earthy colored caudal balances, and dim earthy colored bars (here and there shaping unpredictable dim blotches associated with yellowish locales) without any scales besides on its horizontal line.
The pike is endemic to most states in the country, but the greatest concentration of pike occurs east of the Rocky Mountains (and the Great Lakes region and northeastern states in particular). If you’re interested in catching pike, then you should consult your local fish and wildlife departments for more information about the best spots.
