Gudgeon (Gobio Gobio) – a small freshwater fish species of the Carp family, widely spread throughout central Europe. These fish prefer to inhabit freshwater lakes and streams with moderate current and sandy bottom, where they like to stay in the deep. This fish is recognizable by its elongated but round body, grayish-golden in colour with a large flat head, a distinctly shaped triangular pectoral fin and one pair of barbels on its mouth. Gudgeons are usually under 12 cm in length, with a weight of under 200 g. Its diet primarily consists of small bottom-dwelling invertebrates, and this fish is itself often the object of prey for larger fish.
