Big, I don't think that is a perch.....


The Nile perch (Lates niloticus), also known as the African snook, Goliath perch, African barramundi, Goliath barramundi, Giant lates or the Victoria perch, is a species of freshwater fish in family Latidae of order Perciformes.

It is widespread throughout much of the Afrotropical realm, being native to the Congo, Nile, Senegal, Niger and Lake Chad, Volta, Lake Turkana, and other river basins.

It also occurs in the brackish waters of Lake Maryut in Egypt.

The Nile perch is a fish of substantial economic and food-security importance in East Africa.

Originally described as Labrus niloticus, among the marine wrasses, the species has also been referred to as Centropomus niloticus.

Common names include African snook, Victoria perch (a misleading trade name, as the species is not native to Lake Victoria, though they have been introduced there), and many local names in various African languages, such as the Luo name mbuta or mputa.

In Tanzania, it is called sangara, sankara, or chenku.

In Francophone African countries, it is known as capitaine. Its name in the Hausa language is giwan ruwa, meaning "water elephant".

just the facts ma’am


A member of the Centropomidae family and a relative of snook and barramundi, the Nile perch ( Lates niloticus) is one of the world’s largest freshwater fish, and one of the most highly valued foods and angling species of the African continent.

It was cultivated by Egyptians in fish ponds at least 4,000 years ago (along with tilapia) and has been widely introduced to other areas, sometimes with disastrous resultsfor native species.

In some parts of their range, Nile perch up to 6.5 feet long and weighing 176 pounds have been caught and recorded by native fishermen and were once common.

Much larger ones, up to 500 pounds, are said to have been taken in nets but have gone unrecorded.

The all-tackle world record is a 230-pounder, caught in 2000 by trolling in Lake Nasser, Egypt.
