Definitions
Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A percoid fish of the genus Stizostedion (or Lucioperca), of elongate form, with a subconical head, and sharp canines mixed with the villiform teeth of the jaws and palate. The most common pike-perch in Europe is S. lucioperca. In the United States two species are common, in the upper Mississippi and Great Lake regions: S. vitreum, attaining a length of 3 feet, and a weight of from 10 to 20 pounds, and S. canadense, which is rarely over 15 inches long. (See
Lucioperca .) The former is known as walleye, glasseye, wall-eyed or glass-eyed pike, gray pike, and jack-salmon. The other is called hornfish, sauger, and sand-pike.
