Resting place for fish (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

perch

perca

This clue is a double definition.

'resting place' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fish' is the second definition.
(I know that perch is a type of fish)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for perch that I've seen before include "Freshwater fish - roost" , "Fish; pole" , "Bird's roost" , "Bird's resting place or old measure of length" , "Resting place for a bird and old measure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Guardian.
