Esox cisalpinus, the southern pike or cisalpine pike, is a species of freshwater fish known from central and northern Italy, southeastern France and Switzerland, and it might also occur in the western Balkans.[1][2][3] It has traditionally been considered a southern European variant of the widespread northern pike (Esox lucius), but was described as a separate species in 2011.[4] Like the northern pike, southern pike are an important species for recreational fisheries and for its role as a top predator in freshwater ecosystems.
