Import numbers rarely match the source exportersâ stats. Reasons for import-export statistical discrepancies include re-exports, time lags, misallocations, distinct trade reporting systems, different quantity measurements and country confidentiality rules. Also, transportation and insurance costs are sometimes added to import totals.
Northern pike are freshwater fish with elongated bodies and flattened, duckbill-shaped snouts. Their mouths comprise half the length of their head and are full of sharp teeth. Northern pike are dark green to gray in color on their backs and sides with rows of pale, oval spots (wavy lines in juveniles).
The lower half of the muskie's cheek is not scaled. The lobes of the muskie's tail are more pointed than those of the northern pike. The muskie's coloration, too, is distinct from a northern pike's and takes three common forms that depend somewhat on the muskie's place of origin, but all have a light background.
