abborr

Abborr, scientifically known as Perca fluviatilis, is a species of freshwater fish belonging to the family Percidae. It is a widespread and common fish found throughout Europe and Asia, inhabiting a variety of freshwater environments, including lakes, rivers, and ponds. Abborr is recognizable by its elongated body, typically olive-green to brown in color, with several dark vertical bands along its sides. It possesses two distinct dorsal fins, the first spiny and the second soft-rayed. The species is known for its keen eyesight and predatory nature, feeding primarily on smaller fish, crustaceans, and insect larvae. Abborr are often found in schools, particularly when young, and tend to become more solitary as they mature. They are a popular target for both commercial and recreational fishing due to their palatable flesh. Spawning typically occurs in spring, with females laying eggs on submerged vegetation. The abundance and adaptability of abborr have made it a significant component of many freshwater ecosystems.
