description
Broad Whitefish. To 83.5 cm (32.8 in) TL (George et al. 2007; confirmed by Lawrence Moulton, pers. comm.). Arctic coasts from Siberia to Queen Maud Gulf, Nunavut (Harris in Coad and Reist 2018); Beaufort, Chukchi, and Bering drainages of Alaska south to Kuskokwim Bay. Primarily in fresh water, not venturing far seaward in brackish water (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Some authors (e. g., Reist in Coad and Reist 2018) consider this a species or subspecies complex.
