DOI: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2019.734482
Abstract: Abstract Northern pike (Esox lucius) sperm equilibration and cryopreservation were conducted using a simple cryopreservation extender (CE) containing 185 mM trehalose, 40 mM KCl, 20 mM Tris at pH 8.5 and supplemented with 10% of methanol. Sperm was diluted… read more here.

Morphological differentiation in northern pike (Esox lucius): the influence of environmental conditions and sex on body shape
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Canadian Journal of Zoology"
DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2016-0159
Abstract: Morphological differentiation may allow individuals to cope with prevailing environmental conditions. Morphological differentiation in fish characterized by sagittiform shape and ambush predator behaviour, such as northern pike (Esox lucius L., 1758), has rarely been addressed.… read more here.
