Comments: Has been bred and introduced unsuccessfully into several lakes in Italy. Has been artificially restocked in Lake Garda but at present the species is seldom found in the lake and catches have decreased from about 20 tons a year in 1987 to less than 5 tons between 1985 and 1988. Overfishing, habitat destruction and pollution are responsible for its present decline (Ref. 26100), and possibly due to introduction of exotic Coregonus and Salmonidae (Ref. 59043). Also Ref. 13696, 27118, 94493. Status of threat: Endangered (Ref. 119201).

Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Distinguished from congeners in Italy by its unique almost absence of dark spots on head. Differs further by the combination of the following characters: adults lacking parr-marks; and outside spawning season silvery, with few, very small dark spots on body; during spawning season, some males show a dark marbled color pattern (Ref. 59043).

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 (Ref. 59043). Threatened due to habitat destruction, pollution and overfishing (Ref. 26100) and possibly due to the introduction of exotic Coregonus and Salmonidae (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=0.01047 (0.00488 - 0.02245), b=3.03 (2.86 - 3.20), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (44 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high.
