Due to the low salinity levels of the Baltic Sea, especially around the Finnish archipelago and Bothnian Sea, many freshwater fish live and thrive there. Perch especially are in abundance and grow to a considerable size due to the diet of Baltic herring. The range of the European perch covers fresh water basins all over Europe, excluding the Iberian peninsula. Their range is known to reach the Kolyma River in Siberia to the east. It is also common in some of


title: "European perch" content: the brackish waters of the Baltic Sea. European perch has been widely introduced, with reported adverse ecological impact after introduction. The European perch lives in slow-flowing rivers, deep lakes and ponds. It tends to avoid cold or fast-flowing waters but some specimens penetrate waters of these type, although they do not breed in this habitat. The perch is a predatory species. Juveniles feed on zooplankton, bottom invertebrate fauna and other perch fry, while adults feed on both invertebrates and fish, mainly sticklebacks, perch, roach and minnows. Perch start eating other fish when they reach a size of around 120 mm.


title: "European perch" content: Male perch become sexually mature at between one and two years of age, females between two and four. In the northern hemisphere they spawn between February and July, depositing their eggs on water plants or the branches of trees or shrubs immersed in the water. There has been speculation, but only anecdotal evidence, that eggs stick to the legs of wading birds and are then transferred to other waters. The first scientific description of the river perch was made by Peter Artedi in 1730. He defined the basic morphological signs of this species after studying perch from Swedish lakes. Artedi

His description was based on Artedi's research. Because of their similar appearance and ability to cross-breed, the yellow perch ("Perca flavescens") has sometimes been classified as a subspecies of the European perch, in which case its trinomial name would be "Perca fluviatilis flavescens". European perch is fished for food and game fishing. According to FAO statistics 28,920 tonnes were caught in 2013. Largest perch fishing countries were Russia, (15,242 tonnes), Finland (7,666 tonnes), Estonia (2,144 t), Poland (1,121

Baits for perch include minnows, goldfish, weather loaches, pieces of raw squid or pieces of raw fish (mackerel, bluey, jack mackerel, sardine), or brandling, red, marsh, and lob worms, maggots, shrimp ("Caridina", "Neocaridina", "Palaemon", "Macrobrachium") and peeled crayfish tails. The tackle needed is fine but strong. Artificial lures are also effective, particularly for medium-sized perch. It is possible to fly fish for perch using artificial flies tied for the purpose. Often, the flies required are "streamers" or bait-fish imitations and use flash, colour and movement to entice a take from the perch. European perch is

Although most of them live in aquatic areas, they also tend to reside in forests or higher rocky areas. In order to hunt, ribbon snakes use a few of their senses including auditory and visual perception. Ribbon snakes do not eat warm blooded prey, just like their family of garter snakes do not. Using their auditory and visual traits, they are able to prey upon frogs, toads, tadpoles, small fish, spiders, earthworms, and newts. Meanwhile they

Along with this, they will also flee and hide in dense patches of grass in which they will coil up and get as low to the ground as possible. Beginning in the spring, after hibernation, ribbon snakes begin to look for another snake that they will be able to mate with. Ribbon snakes are viviparous snakes, meaning they give birth to live young. These live young tend to

title: "Kalmia polifolia" content: Kalmia polifolia Kalmia polifolia, previously known as Kalmia glauca and commonly called bog laurel, swamp laurel, or pale laurel, is a perennial evergreen shrub of cold acidic bogs, in the family Ericaceae. It is native to north-eastern North America, from Newfoundland to Hudson Bay southwards. The genus 'Kalmia' is named after Pehr Kalm, a Swedish-Finn botanist, who was a student of Linnaeus. The species name, 'polifolia', is Latin for 'pole-leaves' or 'pole-petals'. The former species name, 'glauca', is Latin for gleaming or gray, a word ultimately dervived from the Ancient Greek 'γλαυκός', meaning blue-green or blue-gray. The plant was first


title: "Kalmia polifolia" content: described by Friedrich Adam Julius von Wangenheim, a German botantist. "Kalmia polifolia" is common throughout Northern North American, thriving along the Eastern American states and in Montana, as well as in every Canadian province except in British Columbia, although spottings have been reported of "Kalmia polifolia" at Rhododenron Lake, located near Vancouver Island. Within Canada, "Kalmia polifolia" is very commonly found in east Nova Scotia where bog conditions are more frequent. "Kalmia polifolia" has also been spotted in a bog in Surrey, England. "Kalmia polifolia" flowers in April and is pollinated by bees. Bees, however, after pollinating this plant, produce

Its leaves are arranged oppositely upon its branch and grow to be an inch to an inch and a half in length and tend to be waxy with an entire and revolute margin. Below each leaf base there are ridges, where it appears as though a part of the leaf is curled around the circumference of the stem. This is especially noticeable lower on the plant. The base of the petiole is pressed against the stem

"Kalmia polifolia" can be used topically for skin wounds, disease, and inflammation, while internal uses may address bleeding and diarrhoea. Every part of "Kalmia polifolia" is highly toxic and poisonous to animals and persons. Although related to "Kalmia angustifolia" (lambkill), it is less toxic. Certain indigenous groups have used the toxicity of the plant's leaves to commit suicide. According to Alaback et al., "Kalmia polifolia" contains a grayanotoxin, which when

According to Lewis and Elvin-Lewis, the active compounds within "Kalmia polifolia" include andromedotoxin and arbutin. These compounds cause a slowing of pulse, a lowering of blood pressure, progressive paralysis and death. "Kalmia polifolia" has poisoned cattle, goats and sheep. For poisoning to occur, the animal must consume 0.3% of its body weight, while a dosage of 2% of an would cause severe sickness. Symptoms for affected goats include depression, nausea, salivation, vomiting, and grating of teeth. Symptoms for affected sheep include depression, staggering, nausea, recubency, salivation, and

A Neo-renaissance renovation was undertaken, followed by various modernizations, such as in-floor heating and electric lights in 1914. On the outside of the "Stallhof" (Stall Courtyard), which links the castle complex with the adjacent Johanneum, the "Procession of Princes" was painted by the artist Wilhelm Walther.

title: "Nerodia rhombifer" content: Nerodia rhombifer Nerodia rhombifer, commonly known as the diamondback water snake, is a species of nonvenomous natricine colubrid endemic to the central United States and northern Mexico. There are three recognized subspecies of "N. rhombifer", including the nominotypical subspecies. The species was first described as "Tropidonotus rhombifer" by Edward Hallowell in 1852. The diamondback water snake is predominantly brown, dark brown, or dark olive green in color, with a black net-like pattern along the back, with each spot being vaguely diamond-shaped. Dark vertical bars and lighter coloring are often present down the sides of the snake. In typical counter-colored fashion,


title: "Nerodia rhombifer" content: the underside is generally a yellow or lighter brown color, often with black blotching. The dorsal scales are heavily keeled, giving the snake a rough texture. The dorsal scales are arranged in 25 or 27 rows at midbody. There are usually 3 postoculars. Adult males have multiple papillae (tubercles) on the under surface of the chin, which are not found on any other species of snake in the United States. "N. rhombifer" grows to an average total length (including tail) of 30-48 inches (76–122 cm). The record total length is 69 inches (175.3 cm). Neonates are often lighter in color,

It is found predominantly near slow-moving bodies of water such as streams, rivers, ponds, or swamps. The primary diet of "N. rhombifer" is fish and amphibians, specifically slow fish, crayfish, amphiumas (eel-like salamanders), frogs and toads. When foraging for food the diamondback water snake will hang on branches suspended over the water, dipping its head under the surface of the water, until it encounters a fish or other prey. It is frequently found basking


title: "Nerodia rhombifer" content: on branches over water, and when approached, it will quickly drop into the water and swim away. If cornered, it will often hiss, and flatten the head and body to appear larger. It only typically resorts to biting if physically harassed or handled. Its bite is known to be quite painful due to its sharp teeth meant to keep hold of slippery fish. Unfortunately, this defensive behavior is frequently misinterpreted as aggression and often leads to its being mistaken for the venomous cottonmouth ("Agkistrodon piscivorus"), with which it does share habitat in some places. The brown/tan coloration and diamond-shaped pattern

The diamondback water snake is found in the central United States, predominantly along the Mississippi River valley, but its range extends beyond that. It ranges within the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, and Alabama. It is also found in northern Mexico, in the states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, and Veracruz. This snake has been introduced to Lafayette Reservoir in Contra Costa County, California. It was first observed in the late 1980s and

In 1996 a contract was awarded to a wildlife control company to cull the snake population. Just when the control effort began in late 1997, dead watersnakes and turtles were observed in large numbers. The precise cause of the die-off is unknown, but a respiratory tract fungus was found in dissected snakes. A cause for the outbreak might have been an

There have been no confirmed observations of watersnakes at Lafayette Reservoir since late 1999, but sightings are occasionally reported, and the population may still continue to present in low numbers. Like other "Nerodia" species, the diamondback water snake is ovoviviparous. Adults breed in the spring, and gravid females give birth in the late summer or early fall. Neonates are around in length. Though its range overlaps with several other species of water snakes, interbreeding is not known. While not endangered or threatened, the main threat to "N. rhombifer" is human ignorance. The

In actuality, the diamondback water snake and other species of water snakes are far more common than the venomous snakes in their range, especially in areas that are frequented by humans. Due to how common the species is, the diamondback water snake is frequently found in captivity, though there is little market value for it in the pet trade. Captive specimens will often bite when captured but become fairly docile with regular handling. It may also defecate when handled, which has a particularly
