Etymology: Coregonus: Greek, kore = pupils of the eye + Greek, gonia = angle (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Peter Artedi (1705–1735) was a Swedish ichthyologist, sometimes regarded as ‘the father of ichthyology”. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

North America: Atlantic and Arctic basins from Quebec to Northwest Territories, Canada and south to St. Lawrence, Great Lakes, and upper Mississippi River basins in northern Ohio, Illinois, and Minnesota, USA. Introduced elsewhere. Considered conspecific with Coregonus autumnalis and Coregonus autumnalis pollan based on electrophoresis studies (Ref. 7506). Belongs to Coregonus artedi complex.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00575 (0.00405 - 0.00818), b=3.15 (3.05 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.40 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (K=0.06-0.27(?); tmax=11; tm=6).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (37 of 100).
