Coregonus Bavaricus
''Coregonus bavaricus'', the Ammersee kilch, is a species of freshwater Coregonus, whitefish endemic to Ammersee, Lake Ammersee in the Germany, German state of Upper Bavaria. A small, silver-colored fish, it typically lives between deep, though shallower in the summer months. In the early 20th century the Ammersee kilch was an important commercial species, but its population declined drastically in the 1930s onward due to overfishing and eutrophication of the only lake in which it is found. Today it is listed as Critically Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and may be on the verge of extinction. Taxonomy The Ammersee kilch was first scientific description, described in 1909 by German fishery scientist Bruno Hofer in his work ''Die Süsswasserfische von Mittel-Europa''. Hofer thought it a subspecies of the Coregonus gutturosus, Lake Constance whitefish, now extinct, so he named it ''Coregonus acronius bavarica''. ''Coregonus acronius'' was the ...
