Redescription of Coregonus bavaricus Hofer, 1909 from Lake Ammersee, Bavaria (Salmoniformes: Coregonidae) Jörg FREYHOF (1) (1) Leibniz-Institute
of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, Müggelseedamm 310, 12587
Berlin, GERMANY. Abstract.
- Coregonus bavaricus is redescribed based on literature data
and three specimens from Lake Ammersee in Germany caught in 1951 (2) and
2003 (1). It is distinguished from other species of Coregonus in
prealpine lakes by: 18-30 gill rakers; short head; pectorals, when folded
forward, reaching at most to corner of mouth, pectorals 17-19% SL; spawning
in June-July. This species is endemic to Lake Ammersee, and, apparently,
at the very border of extinction today. |
