Coregonus Alpenae
The longjaw cisco (''Coregonus alpenae'') was a deep-water cisco or chub, usually caught at depths of 100 metres () or more from Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Erie. Its Latin name was derived from Alpena, a city in Michigan. Silver colored and growing to a maximum length of about 30 centimeters (12 inches) long, the extinction of longjaw cisco was a result of overfishing, pollution of the Great Lakes and the disruption of Great Lakes food chains after the introduction of the sea lamprey. The systematics of the group of fishes called "ciscoes" is complicated and scientists now generally believe that the longjaw cisco was not a separate species, but a distinctive population of large-bodied individuals of shortjaw cisco (''Coregonus zenithicus''). The deepwater cisco fishery caught longjaw ciscoes and sold them as "smoked herring". The commercial catch peaked around the 1930s when about one-third of the catch of ciscoes was this species. No individuals have been reported in commerci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coregonus Hoferi
''Coregonus'' is a diverse genus of fish in the salmon family (biology), family (Salmonidae). The ''Coregonus'' species are known as whitefishes. The genus contains at least 68 described Extant taxon, extant taxa, but the true number of species is a matter of debate. The type species of the genus is ''Coregonus lavaretus''. Most ''Coregonus'' species inhabit lakes and rivers, and several species, including the Arctic cisco (''C. autumnalis''), the Bering cisco (''C. laurettae''), and the least cisco (''C. sardinella'') are anadromous, moving between Seawater, salt water and fresh water. Many whitefish species or ecotypes, especially from the Great Lakes and the Alpine lakes of Europe, have gone extinct over the past century or are endangered species, endangered. Among 12 freshwater fish considered extinct in Europe, 6 are ''Coregonus''. All ''Coregonus'' species are protected under appendix III of the Bern Convention (conservation), Bern Convention.

Salvelinus Profundus
''Salvelinus profundus'' (german: Tiefseesaibling 'Deepwater char') is a deepwater char species found only in deep areas of Lake Constance. This fish can reach in length and has a blunt snout with the mouth in subinferior position. Its lower fins have no white margins and its flanks are silvery to yellowish with pale blue spots; the belly can have a reddish color. History ''Salvelinus profundus'' was still a commercial species in the 1960s but the eutrophication of Lake Constance, which began in the 1950s and peaked in 1979, is thought to have affected egg development. Surveys undertaken in the last ten years failed to find any evidence of the survival of this deep-water trout, as well as of the Lake Constance whitefish ('' Coregonus gutturosus''), another fish species driven recently to extinction. The species had been reported extinct since the late 1970s but was officially declared so by the IUCN only in 2008. However, the fish species was rediscovered in 2016 during 'Pr ...

Salvelinus Neocomensis
''Salvelinus'' is a genus of salmonid fish often called char or charr; some species are called "trout". ''Salvelinus'' is a member of the subfamily Salmoninae within the family Salmonidae. The genus has a northern circumpolar distribution, and most of its members are typically cold-water fish that primarily inhabit fresh waters. Many species also migrate to the sea. Most char may be identified by light-cream, pink, or red spots over a darker body. Scales tend to be small, with 115-200 along the lateral line. The pectoral, pelvic, anal, and the lower aspect of caudal fins are trimmed in snow white or cream leading edges. Many members of this genus are popular sport fish, and a few, such as lake trout (''S. namaycush'') and arctic char (''S. alpinus'') are objects of commercial fisheries and/or aquaculture. Occasionally, such fish escape and become invasive species. Deepwater char are small species of char living below 80 m in the deep areas of certain lakes. They are highly sens ...

Salvelinus Agassizii
:''The name "silver trout" is also sometimes used for rainbow trout.'' The silver trout (''Salvelinus agassizii'') is an extinct char species or variety that inhabited a few waters in New Hampshire prior to 1939, when a biological survey conducted on the Connecticut watershed by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department found none. Description The silver trout was often a foot long and was said to actually be olive green in color. In the lakes silver trout inhabited, large quantities of the species appeared in October to spawn. Systematic position To formally describe the species and prevent local fishermen from overharvesting in the absence of bag limits, specimens were sent to Harvard and the U.S. National Museum for identification, where the fish was first described as a form of lake trout (''Salvelinus namaycush''), and later as a variety of brook trout (''Salvelinus fontinalis''). The silver trout was described as ''Salmo agassizii'' in 1885. W.C.Kendall, who published a fa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Salmo Pallaryi
The Lake Sidi Ali trout (''Salmo pallaryi'') is an extinct species of salmonid fish that inhabited a single lake in the Atlas mountains of northern Morocco Morocco (),, ) officially the Kingdom of Morocco, is the westernmost country in the Maghreb region of North Africa. It overlooks the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and has land borders with Algeria t ..., at higher than 2000 metres elevation. It went extinct in the 1930s, probably because of introduction of common carp in the lake. Only two individuals remain in museum collections.

Coregonus Oxyrinchus
The houting (''Coregonus oxyrhynchus'') is a European, allegedly extinct species of whitefish in the family Salmonidae. It is native to the estuaries and rivers draining to the North Sea. The houting is distinguishable from other ''Coregonus'' taxa by having a long, pointed snout, an inferior mouth and a different number of gill rakers.Freyhof, J. and C. Schöter. 2005.

Coregonus Nigripinnis
The blackfin cisco (''Coregonus nigripinnis'') was a North American salmonid fish in the freshwater whitefish sub-family Coregoninae. This silvery, deep-bodied fish with black fins, large eyes, a blunt snout and a terminal mouth, was one of the largest forms of ciscoes. The blackfin cisco used to inhabit the Great Lakes of North America until recently, but has been reported to have gone extinct. The blackfin cisco is a member of the '' C. artedi'' complex, whose taxonomy has not yet been resolved, and it may not represent a valid species. Taxonomy The species was first mentioned by P.R. Hoy 1872, attributing Gill as the species authority, but Gill's manuscript was never published. The first valid description of this species is attributed to James Wood Milner in 1874. The taxonomy of ''C. nigripinnis'', along with other ciscoes in the '' C. artedi'' complex, is unresolved. ''C. nigripinnis'' was recognized by W.N. Koelz in 1929 to consist of four subspecies, but he had difficul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coregonus Johannae
The deepwater cisco (''Coregonus johannae'') was one of the largest Cisco (fish), ciscoes in the Great Lakes. Its average length was 30 cm (12 inches) and it was about 1.0 kilogram (2.2 pounds) in weight. Occurring only in Lakes Lake Huron, Huron and Lake Michigan, Michigan, and inhabiting waters between 50 and 150 metres deep, it was difficult to distinguish from other ciscoes and was possibly the same species as the shortjaw cisco (''Coregonus zenithicus''). The deepwater cisco was distinguished by usually having fewer than 33 gill rakers, relatively long pectoral fins, and unpigmented jaws. It was a silvery colour with a pink or purple lustre and a green or blue back. It spawned in August and September, earlier than most other ciscoes. Not much is known about its specific behaviors. Its diet consisted of Mysis relicta, Sphaeriidae, fingernail clams, and various aquatic insects. Because of its large size, the deepwater cisco was heavily fished commercially. The main reasons ...

Coregonus Hiemalis
The gravenche (''Coregonus hiemalis''), also known as the Lake Geneva whitefish or the little fera, is a presumably extinct freshwater fish from Lake Geneva in Switzerland and France. Description The gravenche was a species of freshwater whitefish (Coregoninae) that reached a length between .Christian TrépeyCorégone (Féra - Palée)www.plongee-passion.ch The status of the gravenche is disputed because there are no specimens in museums. While Emile Dottrens described it as subspecies of the common whitefish ''Coregonus lavaretus'' in 1958, other experts like Maurice Kottelat regarded it as a full species endemic to Lake Geneva.Maurice Kottelat: ''European Freshwater Fisches.
