Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 37.5 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 83710); max. reported age: 16 years (Ref. 59043)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Differs from the sympatric, non-anadromous Salvelinus salvelinus population by having the following unique characters: maximum size 17 cm SL; spawns for the first time at 11.0 cm SL (vs. 28 cm SL); and mature individuals with belly drab bronze greyish (vs. bright yellow to carmine). Can be further diagnosed by having 30-42 pyloric caeca (vs. 39-52); 22-26 gill rakers (vs. 24-27);and mature individuals often with parr marks (vs. absence) (Ref. 59043).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

A non-anadromous species which inhabits shallow lakes. Feeds on benthic invertebrates (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=0.00977 (0.00468 - 0.02039), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tmax=16).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100).
