What does SAUGER mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoologyNorth American
A North American freshwater fish related to the walleye, prized as a food and game fish.
The sauger lives in large rivers and lakes across central North America and is often caught alongside its close relative the walleye. Anglers value the sauger for its firm white flesh, and it is also known regionally as the sand pike or gray pike. Compared with the walleye, the sauger has a more slender body and distinct dark saddle-like markings along its back. Fisheries biologists track sauger populations closely because the species is sensitive to changes in river flow and water clarity.
