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).
Figuring out whether pike are growing fast or slow is fairly easy. Determining how much they grow each year (inches per year) is a little more technical and difficult, but it is still pretty straight-forward. Cleithrum bones from northern pike and muskie are almost exactly 1/10th the length of the fish.For example, the cleithrum from a 35-inch pike will measure 3.5-inches in length.etermining how much they grow each year (inches per year) is a little more technical and difficult, but it is still pretty straight-forward.
