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).
It was soon established Iâd taken the biggest northern pike ever landed on hook and line anywhere on earth, a world record that still stands 19 years later. I donât happen to care much for mounted fish and at $1 an inch, the rate local taxidermists quoted me, I couldnât see a $52.50 investment in this one.
