Due to my success with page 12 and 13, I wanted to include another fish since I had a lot of fun illustrating this particular species, and so after looking up British native fish, I ended up taking an interest in the Perch.

This fish is carnivorous, and lives in such habitats as ponds, rivers, streams etc.
Their spawning season is in the springtime, and they can lay many many eggs at one time, similar to other fish.

The European Perch, otherwise known as the Common Perch, is greenish, with dark markings along its body. You can see an example of this appearance with the photo above.
One of the Perch's key features is the two dorsal fins located on its back, with one spined, and the other soft.

A common sight in UK waters, and this species is the subject of many hobbyist fishermen, who fish for this particular species as sport.
