What is Sauger?
Sauger or Sander Canadensis is a perciform freshwater fish that is a type of perch pike and is located in North America. perciforms , a term that means a perch is the largest groups of vertebrates. Pike Harches are from the Percidae family and have elongated bodies with two dorsal fins. Walley and Sauger are two types of Pike Harlon found in North America.
The body of the sauger is cylindrical. Its color moves from brown to gold olive tones and is marked with spots and spots. Its underside is usually a whitish color. It can be between 10 V (about 25.4 cm) to 18 V (about 45.72 cm) long. Fish can weigh up to five pounds (about 2.27 kg), but most fish caught fishermen are less than two pounds (about 0.91 kg). Sagers, on the other hand, usually live in rivers that are mud, Sandy or contain gravel. In addition to size and water preferences, Sauger can also be distinguished from Walley because he has stains on his fins.
Saugri arecarnivorous fish. They will be prey on smaller fish in the rivers. They will also eat insects that approach the surface of the water.
fish will achieve sexual maturity at a time when they are at the age of two to five years, and usually emerge in April or May. Their mating instinct is induced by an increase in water temperature and is therefore known to emerge in some areas as early as February. Saugers tend to prefer large tributaries for friction and travel long distances to achieve preferred areas.
When it is time, the woman puts eggs on the bottom of the river. The male then fertilizes them. After about 10 to 12 days, eggs and fish in their larval stage are carried on the river. During the larval and juvenile phases of life, they tend to eat zooplankton and small invertebrates. In autumn they are usually large enough to eat other fish.
It is possible to connect Walleye with a sauger and is known to be hybrids. You tend toBeing the features of both fish, but generally have places that are characteristic of saugera. This can further complicate the identification of what type of fish fisherman caught.
The population of this fish was a constant decline. This may be due to a combination of excessive fishing and loss of habitat. It should be noted that the migration nature of fish is also making it difficult to calculate the exact population.
