The scales are coarser than those of salmon. The colouration on the sides is usually uniform, silvery; the back is darker. Eggs, in contrast to the eggs of other salmon014,, are small. It is a widely distributed arctic genus including " many forms populatiag basins of the Arctic Ocean, northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans both in Europe and in Asia, and in North America. Biologically whitefish are very diversified: among them there are migratory, river, and lake fish. In manner of feeding they are likewise diversified: there are among them plankton feeders, benthos feeders, and carnivores on small ani- mais. Systematically whitefish are as yet very badly worked out. It is possible to divide all the whitefish into three groups, distinguished by the position of the mouth: (1) whitefish with superior mouth -- riapushka Coregônus albula (L.) and Coregonus sardinella Val.; (2) whitefish with terminal mouth -- omul Coregonus autumnalis (Pall.), tugun Core5onus tugun (Pall.), peled Coregapus neled (Gmel.), etc.; (3) whitefish with inferior mouth-- chir Coregonms nasus (Pall.), muksun corelonm muksun (Pall.), all the diverse forms of species of Coregonus lavaretis (L.) and balok Coregonus nylindraceus (Pall. and Penn.) (fig. 106). Whitefish with superior mouths -- schooling fish, predominantly feed on plankton. In our waters there are two species: Baltic riapushka Coregonus albula (L.) and Siberian riapushka or zeld Coregonus sardinalla Val. Baltic, or European, riapushka Coreg.2aus albula (L.) is distributed from Ireland and England to the basins of the Baltic Sea. It is in certain,lakes in the Volga basin (Plesh- cheyevo or Pereal.avskoe' Lakes ,), The sizes of the riapushka ,Liapushka, tugun, omul, peled are included in the subgenus Leucichthys. Chir, the Ussur sig, hadar, muksun, and ordinary sig are included in the subgenus Coregonus. Balok (C.gylindraceus) is referred to the subgenus Prosopium. -2- range to 46 cm. The riapushka (occurs as a) semi-anadromous or lake form. From the Gulf of Finland, the riapushka in schools at the end of August entett; -into th3Neva and stop, not getting up to Lake Ladoga. 'Th the Ladoga, Onega, Pereslavl and other lakes, there are lacustrine formà of riapushka. In these lakes in the summer the riapushka occurs in schools, usually located out from shore, but at night it (the riapushka) breaks up into small strings. Summer migrations of riapushka both in lakes and in the Baltic Sea are connected with the dilstribution of its food, mainly peagiccTusUceans. In Lake Onega the principal position is occupied b,ipBosmina and DaDhpia in the feeding of riapushka. In Lake Pereslavl Pmf4h2Irep_hes, followed further by Diaptomus and Çmçloos,. In 24 hours a riapushka 16 cm. long (known for Lake Plensk in Germany) eats up 35,200 cladoceran ceastaceans and 25,000 copepod crustaceans during the time of nagul (wandering). The riapushka feeds most intensively in summer, but feeding persists in winter. Completely, the feeding of the riapushka stops at the time of spawning. The riapushka in Ladoga, Onega, and Pereslavl Lakes grows rather rapidly. GROWTH OF THE RIAPUSHKA IN DIFFERENT LAKES 11 12 13 14 1 5 16 L.Pereslavl 10.8 17.2 23.2 26.4 28.8 30.6 L.Ladoga (ripusa) -- 19.9 24.1 25.1 (data with growth increments 2+3+4+) L.Onega 11.4 13.2 14.5 16.1 ditto In Lakes Ladoga and Onega there are two forms of riapushka: fast growing -- ripus, or kiletz, and the slow growing (form). The ripus grows to maturity later (than is) typical of riapushka at the age of 3+, 4+, but the riapushka matures at the age of 2+.. Spawning of the riapushka proceeds in the autumn. In Lake Pereslavl, it spawns eggs at the end of November until the middle of December. Spawning proceeds on sandy bottoms at a temperature rather higher than 0° (Borisov, 1924). In Lake Onega the riapushka spawns on the twentieth of October to 15 November; it starts spawning usually at a temperature around 5° C. It spawns ongrerolly and sandy bottoms. The small Onega riapushka produces about 720 to 7779 little eggs. The average produced is around 3000 eggs. The large Ladoga4Onega riapushka is more fecund. The average produced by the Neva (River) riapushka is about 5000 little eggs. Larvae emerge from the eggs in March to April, absorption of the yolk sac proceeds in 3 to 4 days, after which the fish transforms into the active feeding stage. A- great amount of eggs and larvae of riapushka are destroyed by predatory fish. 1 -3- The riapushka is an important item of commerce; it is caught by us in the Gulf of Finland and Neva (River), in Karelian lakes, in Pereslavl and other lakes. Exploitation is carried out with the use of seining, weirs of netting and fykes (a trap type of large fyke). CATCHES OF RIAPUSHM IN DIFFERENT LAKES (in centners) (1 centner = 50 kg.) 1936 1937 1938 1939 Southern part of Lake Ladoga 1,666 1,315 1,285 1,078 Lake Onega 13,180 10,126 9,322 7,822 Pskovsko-Chudskoye Lake 1,164 767 6,748 7,612 A cyclic fluctuation on catches has been observed for riapushka in a series of basins. It has been noted by P.G.Borisov (1924) for Lake Pereslavl, V.V.Pokrovski (1938) for Lake Onega and for a series of similar basins. The source of this periodi- city is not as yet clear. The riapushka was successfully ac- climated in some Ural lakes where it became ahcbject of commer- cial exploitation. In the Urals the ripus is acclimatized both in deep lakes with comparatively cold waters (for example, Lake Wilda) and in shallow, highly warmed (lakes) (Lake Shartash). In the Ural lakes the ripus has a significantly more rapid growth and is already mature in the second year of life (in year-class 1+). In certain Ural lakes the ripus changed into feeding on benthos (larvae of chironomids). The ripus appears to be a good object for pond ilâming, and in the same way as ac- climatized (introduced fish) in lowland lakes and reservoirs. The riapushka has been successfully acclimatized in certain reservoirs of the Moscow canal. The Siberian riapushka. -- Core- _minus sardinella Val0 is widely distributed over the littoral of the Arctic Ocean from the Béloye (White) Sea to North America. Sizes up to 42 cm., weight -- up to 500 g0(1500 g0 would seem more realistic. D.E.W.) At the limits of areal (distribution) there are evolved a series of geographical races. The Siberian riapushka are semi-anadromous or fresh- water fish, inhabiting lower parts of rivers, and lakes not located far from the sea. -4- The principal places (of occurrence are as wandering riapushka (in marine coastal waters) spawning (riapushka) in Siberian rivers, (riapushka)'occürring usually•in regions near river mouths, often at junctures of fresh and brackish waters. Immature individuals stay near shore more than the adults. The Siberian riapushka feeds the same as the Eurepean (riapushka) on plankton crustaceans. In the downstream-(lower) Ob, its principal items of food are BosminaBvthotrephes, Diaptomus., and related crustaceans; in the lower Yenesei it eats chiefly'the crustacean daphnids, diatoms, mysijs e (Podlesnyi, 1945) 1 Individuals, which stay in a river, feed partially on benthos (lar.ïrue of mosquitoes and caddis flies) and terrestrial insects (ivanchinov, 1935). Mature Siberian riapushka in different • waters do not grow at the same rates. The earliest ripening , L riapushka is in the lower Ob; here males spawn in 3 - years, • females -- 4 -- 5 years. The most retarded in ripening is the Lena riapushka, where males grow to maturity in 6 years, and females -- in 7 years. The movement of riapushka in the Ob begins in June and is completed at the beginning of September. Approximately at these times, the riapushka migrates in the Yenesei. In the Lena it enters a little later, in August and September, and the.movem4nt is continued until October. Spawning in the Ob basin (Shchuchya River (ca. 67 0 N 68° 15' E)) proceeds at the end of September to the beginning of October at the time of temperature of 1 - 2° C. Eggs are deposited on the bottom on a gravel or sand substrate. In the Yenesei spawning proceeds in the second half of October. In the Kolyma, the riapushka spawns at the end of September. Fecundity of the Ob riapushka is about 7,011 to . 18,281 eggs;• Yenesei -- about 2,500 to 23,600 eggs; Lena, on the average, 17,000 eggs; that is more than for the European(form). After spawning is completed, the riapushkk drifts downstream. A fraction of the individuals of Siberian riapushka are lost after spawning. The hatching of larvae from thp, eggs in the Ob occurs in:May, and they as yet have not absorbed the yolk sac and are carried• downstream where they wander around. The Siberian riapushka grows usually with somewhat the rapidity of the European riaPushka. The limiting age of the western Siberian riapushka, eVidehtly, is 8+, of the eastern Siberian (riapushka) -- 11+ 0 In the lower parts, of Siberian rivers, the riapushka- appears to be one of the most important commercial fishes, Occupying among the whitefishes in the catches the third or fourth place (after omul and muksun).

  • Lake Baikal Russian Federation
    LAKE BAIKAL RUSSIAN FEDERATION Lake Baikal is in south central Siberia close to the Mongolian border. It is the largest, oldest by 20 million years, and deepest, at 1,638m, of the world's lakes. It is 3.15 million hectares in size and contains a fifth of the world's unfrozen surface freshwater. Its age and isolation and unusually fertile depths have given it the world's richest and most unusual lacustrine fauna which, like the Galapagos islands’, is of outstanding value to evolutionary science. The exceptional variety of endemic animals and plants make the lake one of the most biologically diverse on earth. Threats to the site: Present threats are the untreated wastes from the river Selenga, potential oil and gas exploration in the Selenga delta, widespread lake-edge pollution and over-hunting of the Baikal seals. However, the threat of an oil pipeline along the lake’s north shore was averted in 2006 by Presidential decree and the pulp and cellulose mill on the southern shore which polluted 200 sq. km of the lake, caused some of the worst air pollution in Russia and genetic mutations in some of the lake’s endemic species, was closed in 2009 as no longer profitable to run. COUNTRY Russian Federation NAME Lake Baikal NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SERIAL SITE 1996: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria vii, viii, ix and x. STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following statement at the time of inscription. Justification for Inscription The Committee inscribed Lake Baikal the most outstanding example of a freshwater ecosystem on the basis of: Criteria (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x).

  • First Record of a Coregonid Fish Species, Coregenus Albula (Linnaeus, 1758) (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) in Aktaş Lake Shared Between Turkey and Georgia
    J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 25, No. 3: 325-332 (2019) SHORT COMMUNICATION First record of a coregonid fish species, Coregenus albula (Linnaeus, 1758) (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) in Aktaş Lake shared between Turkey and Georgia Sedat V. Yerli Department of Biology, Hacettepe University, SAL, Beytepe, Ankara, TURKEY Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The genus Coregenus (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) was recently considered not to be represented in Turkey. European cisco or vendace, Coregonus albula (Linnaeus, 1758) was reported for the first time for Turkey in this article with fifteen samples in Aktaş Lake, Ardahan. This species should be added to the checklist of Turkish fish fauna. Turkish name is proposed as “Akbalık” for this species. Keywords: Coregonus albula, first record, Aktaş Lake, Kartsakhi, alkaline lake, Georgia, Turkey Received: 30.10.2019, Accepted: 26.11.2019 Vendace or European cisco Coregonus albula (Linnaeus, 1758) is a native species for northern Europe. Berg (1948) reported the distribution of this species its morphological measurements in the former USSR and adjacent countries. Froese and Pauly (2019) summarized the natural distribution of vendace as Baltic basin, several lakes of upper Volga drainage; some lakes of White Sea basin and North Sea basin east of Elbe drainage; anadromous in Gulf of Finland and marine in northernmost freshened part of Gulf of Bothnia between Finland and Sweden; in Lake Inari, northern Finland; lower Rhine (now extirpated). The vendace was introduced, intentionally in some countries in Europe and United States of America. Vendace was introduced in 1959, 1982-1987 in the Irtysh River Basin and in 1960-61 in Lake Balkhash in Kazakhstan (Mitrofanov and Petr 1999).

Fairbanks, Alaska August 2008 iii ABSTRACT This study examined the spatial components of inconnu Stenodus leucichthys spawning habitat use in the Selawik River, Alaska. Little is known about inconnu critical habitat needs; however, current studies of inconnu spawning behavior suggest a high level of habitat selectivity. This level of selectivity implies that there are specific habitat characteristics that these fish require for spawning. The purpose of this study was to build a heuristic habitat model that can be used to better understand inconnu spawning site selection in remote Alaskan watersheds. Using readily available, low- or no-cost remote sensing data layers, geographical information systems (GIS) were used in conjunction with multivariate statistics in an attempt to clarify relationships between geomorphologic features and spawning site selection.

TAXONOMY The Bear Lake whitefish is 1 of 3 sympatric members of the genus Prosopium. No subspecies has been proposed. DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE This species is endemic to Bear Lake. POPULATION TREND Monitoring for >20 years indicates the population is stable (Nielson and Tolentino 2002). HABITAT AND ECOLOGY The Bear Lake whitefish typically occurs in the benthic zone at water depths greater than 40 m (130 ft). Spawning occurs in mid–February to mid–March in shallow, rocky areas. Ostracods comprise the majority of the diet, but other invertebrates found on the lake bottom may be consumed. ISSUES The lowering of lake levels due to natural events and anthropogenic actions could limit spawning and rearing habitat. Increasing human development around the lake could lead to lowering of water quality due to waste water discharges. Legal and illegal introductions of piscivorous fish could affect populations by increased predation rate. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS Continue programs that (1) monitor the population status and trend; (2) evaluate the relationship between water quality and level and fish populations; (3) stock sterile triploid lake trout; and (4) removal of illegally introduced non–native fish (e.g., walleye) in conjuction with adjacent states.
