FRESHWATER FISH. 



(1) Pejerrey (Atherina Lacustrine). (2) Pejerrey (Atherina Fluvialis). The difference 

 between the two varieties is hardly appreciable, consisting chiefly in that the Lacustrine 

 variety has the head somewhat more cylindrical and obtuse than that of the Fluvial, whose 

 head is vertically flatter, and is more pointed towards the mouth. The colour of the Lacustrine 

 variety is perhaps a little darker than that of the other. This fish is abundant in all fresh 

 waters. From the Lake of Aculeo, during ten months of the year, there are daily taken out 

 about 1000 of them for the markets of Eancagua, Santiago and Valparaiso. (3) Trucha Percha 

 (Trout), two varieties, the true trout specimens of 35 to 40 centimetres long, and the Pocha, 

 which seldom exceeds 15 to 20 centimetres long. This fish lives in rapid streams; is nearly 

 always taken by hook and bait; is greedy of the Apancora. (4) Bagre (Trichemoyeterus 

 Maculatus), fish inhabiting slow-running streams on muddy bottoms. There is more than one 

 variety of it ; that of the exhibit is the most in use as food. It is generally caught with hook 

 baited either with earthworms or with the larvae of a species of insect found in decayed trees.
