ʻO ka perch ka iʻa he nui nā ʻano. Loaʻa lākou ma ka ʻāpana ʻākau o ka honua. Noho lākou ma nā loko a me nā muliwai. Kakaʻikahi lākou e ʻauʻau i kai. A ʻo ia hoʻi, noho wale lākou i loko o ka wai paʻakai, ʻo ia hoʻi kahi paʻakai iki.
Ke kamaʻilio ka poʻe e pili ana i ka perch ma ka ʻōlelo colloquial, maʻamau ka manaʻo o ka perch, kahi mea maʻamau ma ʻaneʻi. Ma Switzerland, ua kapa ʻia ʻo "Egli" a ma Lake Constance "Kretzer". ʻO ka zander a me ka ruff kekahi ʻano maʻamau o ka perch. Ma ka Danube, ma Austria, hālāwai kekahi me ka nerd. Loaʻa ia ma nā ʻāpana kahi e kahe wikiwiki ai ka muliwai. Akā, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia he pōʻino.
He mau unahi ikaika ko ka perch a pau a me ka halu hope ʻelua, ʻo ka mua he spiny a ʻo ka hope he palupalu iki. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka perch e nā ʻili tiger ʻeleʻele. ʻO ka zander ka ʻano nui o ka perch. I ʻEulopa, ulu ia a hiki i 130 kenimika ka lōʻihi. ʻO ia ka nui o ke keiki liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka perch, akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o 30 kenimika. He iʻa pipiʻi ka perch a hānai nui ʻia i nā ʻiʻo wai, nā ilo, nā pāpaʻi, a me nā hua o nā iʻa ʻē aʻe. ʻAi ka zander i nā iʻa ʻē aʻe. Inā ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe e ʻai ai, hana pū kekahi perch nui i kekahi manawa.
ʻO ka perch, ʻoi aku ka zander a me ka perch, he iʻa kaulana na mākou e ʻai ai. He mea waiwai ka perch no kona ʻiʻo wīwī a iwi ʻole. Loaʻa pinepine ʻia ʻo Zander e nā lawaiʻa haʻuki. No ka mea hilahila a paʻakikī hoʻi e hoʻopunipuni, he paʻakikī ka hopu ʻana iā lākou. Hoʻohana ka poʻe lawaiʻa haʻuki i nā iʻa liʻiliʻi e like me ka roach a i ʻole ka rudd i maunu.
