The resemblance of the zander with the pike and the perch is given also by its Latin name lucio and perca. It is grey green and its body is long and round. It has a large mouth and sharp teeth that is why for zander fishing, a string of resistant material is used, as in the case of the pike. The reproduction takes place in April - May. The largest zander fished in the Delta weighed 15 kilos. The minimum size of a caught zander is of 40 cm.

The lure used for sport fishing: live fish (fry), pieces of fish, twister, spinner.
Fishing places in the Danube Delta: we can find the zander in the fresh waters of the large lake Puiulet, Lumina but it is generally fished in channels.
Fishing period: During the whole fishing period, especially during fall.
