Salvelinus jacuticus, commonly known as Yakutian char, is a species of freshwater fish in the salmon family. It is endemic to the mountain lakes in the Lena Delta, Russia.[1] It was reported that the population of the species declined due to overfishing and the rise of temperature in the arctic region.[2]

Description

Yakutian char feed on the larvae and pupae of chironomid flies.[3] The species may grow to a recorded length of 20cm (7.9 inches). The fish usually have a long dark grey body with orange spots on the sides. The species is benthopelagic, residing at or near the bottom of the lake.[4]
