In the Ouse iinniense rjuantitics of this species are often caught 
and sold for manure, or used as bait for eel. Mr. Gurney stales 
that in the salt marshes at Cley and Salthouse, Avhere they are very

Perca fluvi.atilis (L.) Perch. 
]Mr. Gurney has observed that “in the Yare and Bure they are

by T. E. Gunn, in the “ Zoologist,” as weighing Ijlbs., and mea- 
suring 18 inches in length.
