FBname: Maraena whitefish
Comments: Forages along coasts. Also reported from deep, oligo-mesotrophic lakes. Feeds on benthic prey (crustaceans, molluscs, large insect larvae, small fish). Spawns in shallow water, in rapids or small rivers or over firm sediments in lowland rivers and estuaries. Northernmost stocks undertake the longest migrations between spawning and foraging grounds. In the northern part of the range, individuals may travel as much as 700 km between these areas (Ref. 59043).
  Growth parameters from Russia suggest a maximum age of 20 years (Ref. 56506) .
  Members of the genus <i>Coregonus</i> readily hybridise with other <i>Coregonus</i> species and populations (Ref. 89548).
