Catchments affect growth rate of Northern Pike, Esox lucius, in subarctic lakes

Mercury and Amino Acid Content Relations in Northern Pike (Esox Lucius) in Subarctic Lakes Along a Climate-Productivity Gradient

“…Pike growth is also dependent on nutritional value of prey fish. Moslemi-Aqdam et al (2021) suggested the low nutritional value and depleted carbon ratios due to greater catchment influence could inhibit pike growth, however more studies are needed. Pike movements are dependent on the temperature with maximal swimming at around 20 • C and activity drop below 10 • C (Craig, 2008;Öhlund et al, 2015).…”
