Etymology: Coregonus: Greek, kore = pupils of the eye + Greek, gonia = angle (Ref. 45335). More on author: Cuvier.
Environment / Climate / Range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic. Temperate, preferred ?; 48°N - 46°N, 6°E - 8°E
Europe: lakes Neuchâtel, Bienne and Morat, Switzerland. Introduced in Lake Geneva and other lakes and reservoirs in France and Awitzerland. Extirpated in Lake Morat (Ref. 59043).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 45.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 59043)
Lacustrine. Males reproduce initially at 3-4 years, females at 5. Spawns on gravel near shore or, depending on population, in depths up to 50 m. Spawning time depends on depth and apparently on temperature at that location, from November to December in shallow water to February in deepest places (Ref. 59043).

Estimates of some properties based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.3 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): High vulnerability (58 of 100) .
