White perch prefer a diet of small fish, insects and other invertebrates.
The white perch migrate into tributary streams where females release up to 300,000 adhesive eggs. Immediately following the laying of the eggs, males release millions of sperm cells. In spite of this haphazard spawning ritual, the ratio of hatched eggs is enormous when compared to other fish. Eggs can hatch in as little as 30 hours or take as long as six days depending on water temperature. White perch can mature and spawn at a size of 5 inches.
