Speciesbox taxon Esox flaviae authority Lucentini, Puletti, Ricciolini, Gigliarelli, Fontaneto , et al. in 2011 Southern pike Esox flaviae is a freshwater fish present in Southern Europe with a restricted geographical distribution. As Northern pike, Southern pike is one of the most important species for recreational and commercial fisheries and for its role as top predator in freshwater ecosystems. It was described by Lucentini, Puletti, Ricciolini, Gigliarelli, Fontaneto , et al. in 2011. They explicitly test the hypothesis that the different phenotypes of the pike, geographically isolated in Europe, may represent two different evolutionary entities. In particular, the authors analysed phenotypic and genetic differences sampling several individuals from different populations of European pike, They tested statistical differences in the general appearance of the skin pattern and in meristic characters as the number of scales in the lateral line. They applied a coalescent based approach to mtDNA phylogeny and evaluated the degree of historical admixture, testing overall genetic differences from amplified fragment length polymorphism AFLP . The authors recommend stopping the stocking of pike in southern Europe using northern pike from other European countries, as this could greatly impact the survival of this newly discovered species in its native range.

Closely related to the Northern Pike , it reaches a length of 115 cm, sporting a silvery body with small black spots. Like other pike, this species is prized for sport fishing, but is not generally found outside its native range. This species was introduced to Glendale Lake , Cambria County , Pennsylvania , by the Pennsylvania Fish Commission in 1968. Pure Amur pike were last spawned in 1971.

The pikes of genus Esox give the order its name. There are ten species five in each family. This order is closely related to the Salmoniformes , the two comprising the superorder Protacanthopterygii , and are often included in their order. The esociform fishes first appeared in the mid Cretaceous early products of the Euteleost radiation of that time. Today they are found only in fresh water in North America and the northern Eurasia n regions. Pikes The pikes tend to be lie in wait, ambush predator s, with elongated snouts, long, well muscled torsos, forked tails, and dorsal and anal fins set well back and opposite each other for rapid acceleration along a straight line, allowing the fish to quickly emerge from cover to capture its prey. Prey capture is facilitated by the impaling of the prey animal on the sharp teeth, after which the pike retreats to cover, turns the prey around, and swallows it, head first. Anatomically, the pikes are characterized by the presence of shark like, maxillary teeth, a mesocoracoid, and the absence of an adipose fin, breeding tubercules, and pyloric cecae. The two more prominent species of Esocidae are Esox lucius, or the northern pike , a popular sport fish that may reach lengths as great as a meter and a half, and the muskie, E. masquinongy , which grows even larger. Mudminnows Mudminnows are much smaller than their pike cousins, with usual lengths of less than 20 cm. However, they are also extremely efficient, lie in wait, ambush predators, feeding mostly on the sorts of invertebrates commonly found in warm ... more details
