aquaculture
📖 Overview
Lives in lakes at 100-200 m depth. Feeds predominantly on zooplankton. Also preys on other benthic invertebrates during summer. Spawns close to underwater springs at 50-300 m depths . Threatened due to habitat destruction, pollution and overfishing and possibly due to the introduction of exotic Coregonus and Salmonidae .
🔬 Taxonomy
