Description
The common chub (Squalius cephalus) lives in shallow rivers and ponds throughout Europe. They primarily dine on small fish and freshwater shrimp, but will hunt other small invertebrates as well. Common chub are popular with anglers for their presence in shallow waters and willingness to bite lures, although their meat is not highly valued.
