SALVELINUS

'Salvelinus' is a genus of salmonid fish, often called 'char' or 'charr'. Many fish called trout are members of this genus. Charr may be identified by light spots over a darker body; spots light cream pink or red. Scales tend to be small, with 115-200 along lateral line. Pectoral, pelvic, anal, and lower aspect of caudal fin are trimmed in snow white or cream leading edges. Many members of this genus are popular sports fish, and a few such as the Lake trout, ''S. namaycush'', are the object of commercial fisheries.
