Chub

Squalius cephalus

The chub (Squalius cephalus) is a freshwater fish from the carp family, widely distributed in European rivers and lakes. It features a spindle-shaped body, a large head, and a distinctively marked mouth. Typically, it grows up to 50 cm in length, though sometimes it can reach up to 60 cm. The chub is an omnivorous fish, feeding on small invertebrates, plants, and insects. It prefers clean, well-oxygenated waters with moderate current. Active mostly during the day, its behavior and appearance make it a popular target for anglers.
