Biology and ecology of pike

---

The pike (Esox lucius Linnaeus, 1758), or northern pike as it is called in most of North America, is an iconic fish species that has fascinated mankind throughout history. Its large size and characteristic appearance have likely contributed to various tall stories, some of which are beautifully saved in Izaak Walton’s “The Compleat Angler or the Contemplative man’s Recreation” from 1653 (see e.g. Walton and Cotton 2005). The pike is there described as the tyrant of freshwaters, attacking everything from venomous frogs to birds to mules and people. There is also reference to anecdotes of pike being spontaneously generated from weed and glutinous matter with help of sunlight, and of specimens over 200 years old. Although such historical texts probably contain various degrees of misconception, they simultaneously nicely describe many aspects of pike as a fish species and fisheries target, and, perhaps most importantly, indicate how significant pike as a species has been and continues to be. Along similar lines, the pike has undoubtedly interested us for many years, from both personal and academic points of view, and it is with the abovementioned importance, significance and fascination in mind we have set the current book.
