Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Distinguished from the sympatric Coregonus albula, the geographically close Coregonus lucinensis and the spring spawning Coregonus trybomi by: scales in lateral line 69-77 + 3; interorbital distance 25-30% of dorsal head length; head width between dorsal end of opercular openings 8.2-9.7% SL; body depth at dorsal fin origin 16.4-21.2% SL; length of last gill raker in upper branch of first gill arch 120-186% of opposite outer gill filament; 11-18% of dorsal head length; pelvic and pectoral fins hyaline; slow growth, mature females 8.7-12.6 cm SL (Ref. 52872).

Found in lakes, inhabiting deep water layers of 20-60 m. Undertakes migration above 20 m at night (Ref. 59043). Most abundant below 20 m depth (Ref. 52872). Syntopic with Coregonus albula in Lake Stechlin (Ref. 52872). Feeds mainly on Cladocera and Copepoda (Ref. 59043).

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=0.00457 (0.00190 - 0.01097), b=3.13 (2.92 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
