Pret ier 
(7inca vulgaris) 
TencH are not so widely distributed as the perch, but they are 
found in many lochs. In Scotland they are difficult to catch and are 
not often seen. They prefer weedy lochs to more open water. 
Those that are swept from the lochs into our quick-running rivers 
soon disappear. In no river that I know of in Scotland have they 
established themselves. It is said that pike will not eat them.
