Thymallus grubii
The Amur grayling (Thymallus grubii) is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish from the genus Thymallus (graylings) of the family Salmonidae, endemic to the Amur basin in Russian Far East and Northeast China and also the Onon and Kherlen basins in Mongolia. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate the species with the Lower Amur grayling (Thymallus tugarinae). It is seen as a game fish and food fish in Russian Far East and the Chinese Heilongjiang province.
