pike


Explanation:
I think that they are probably referring to the pike. Some dictionnaries give the English as "pikeperch", of which I have not heard but the Larousse says that it is a fish "similar to the perch".

zander


Explanation:
If you're translating into UK English, then we British anglers refer to it as a zander. They look like a cross between a perch and pike (hence the term pike-perch). In all my years of fresh water fishing, I've never caught a single one... (no great loss, I suppose)

zander


Explanation:
... a pair of rods along the bank can be a very good method of locating Zander; try to
find swims with shoals of small prey fish as the Zander will not be too far ...
