COMMON WHITEFISH


The 'common whitefish' (''Coregonus lavaretus'') is a species of freshwater fish in the salmon family (family Salmonidae). It is the type species of its genus.
The gwyniad (''C. pennantii'') is sometimes considered to be a subspecies or population of ''C. lavaretus.'' The common whitefish is also sometimes called the lavaret or the powan, although the latter refers more properly to ''C. clupeoides.''
