This poster introduces us to the most important freshwater fish.
Added to the brilliant photography is well researched information about not only the following freshwater fish:
Grayling-Barbel-Bass-Trout (Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout) Pike-Common Carp (Grass Carp, Fully Scaled Carp, Mirror Carp) Salmon-Tench-Sturgeon-Wels Catfish-Zander.

Here are some tips and interesting facts.
Did you know that the meat of the Barbel is interspersed with many small bones?
This doesn't make it very good eating.
Furthermore, the roe is poisonous.

Did you know that Pikes, who are voracious predators, have a tendency to cannibalism and that more than 90% of young pikes are eaten by their own kind?
A pike can consume a family member up to 70% of his own size and he is not even particularly fussy about his usual choice of prey.

Did you know that there have been efforts to reinhabit the Sturgeon, which has been instinct in Germany since the beginning of the seventies?
Fishing is prohibited during the first years of resettlement.
If this scheme is successful, we could see sturgeon in German rivers again within the next thirty years.
There has been a success with Salmon.
The campaign “Salmon 2000”led in 1983 to the successful resettlement of salmon in the Upper Rhine.
This success was rewarded with the return in 1997 of the first reinhabited young salmon.

In einem Bächlein helle,
Da schoss in froher Eil
Die launische Forelle
Vorüber wie ein Pfeil.

This is a German folksong about the Trout, written by Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart 1739-1791.
The well known piece of music called The Trout was written by Franz Schubert 1797-1828.
And now you can see the little trout on our poster.

On 17.December, 2006 a new World Record was established for a breed with the catch of a 38.15 Kg Fully Scaled Carp in a German quarry pond.
The World Record for Mirror Carps is 37,65Kg and was established in 2005 in a lake in France.

The poster has a stable border which makes it easy to hang up and prevents it falling down, notwithstanding darting trout and heavy carp!
