Life has not been kind to the little fish, a distant cousin of the lake herring that inhabits the Great Lakes.

Fish species include walleyes, perch, crappies, smallmouth bass, lake herring and northern pike.

Coregonus artedi (northern cisco or lake herring)

Coregonus artedi, commonly knows as cisco, lake herring, chub

It is one of a number of species (in addition to the lake trout and lake herring) aggressively attacked by sea lamprey.

Cisco (Lake Herring)

The term cisco is also specifically used of the North American species Coregonus artedi, also known as lake herring.

Current threats to the only remaining population include commercial fishing, predation by rainbow smelt and interbreeding with lake herring (Coregonus artedi).

The northern cisco or lake herring discussed above is one of several closely related North American species or forms of cisco.

There is great doubt whether the Coregonus nigripinnis was an independent species separate from Coregonus artedi (lake herring) or just an ecomorphotype.

The spawning and schooling waters of deep coldwater fish, such as whitefish, lake herring, walleye, and lake trout will be protected by this zone.

Narrowly defined, Coregonus artedi is known variously with the common names cisco, northern cisco, lake herring, chub or tullibee.

It is closely related to the cisco or lake herring, Coregonus artedi, and the shortjaw cisco, both of which it is known to hybridise with.

They have created a problem with their aggressive parasitism on key predator species and game fish, such as lake trout, lake whitefish, chub, and lake herring.

USS Grayback (SS-208), a Tambor-class submarine, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the lake herring.

Minnows, white suckers, shorthead redhorse, silver redhorse, panfish such as yellow perch and rock bass, and lake herring make up the prey fish population in the lake.

There are also a number of other species called herrings, which may be related to clupeids or just share some characteristics of herrings (such as the lake herring, which is a salmonid).

Numerous species of fish can be found in the lake, including brown bullhead, lake herring, largemouth bass, muskellunge, pumpkinseed, rock bass, smallmouth bass, white sucker, yellow perch, and walleye.

The lake is cleaner now, but there would have to be an adequate food supply - the lake herring the blue pike ate tapered off decades ago and Mr. Busch said they might have to restock that, too.

That will depend upon the well-being of the blue pike's chief prey, the lake herring, and the lake herring's chief prey, and the chief prey of the lake herring's chief prey, and so on down to a microscopic level.

Coregonus artedi, the most common cisco in North America

The kiyi is part of the large group of related northern ciscos known as the Coregonus artedi complex.

Cisco, Coregonus artedi

The term cisco is also specifically used of the North American species Coregonus artedi, also known as lake herring.

Coregonus artedi, commonly known as the cisco, is a North American species of freshwater whitefish in the family Salmonidae.

Current threats to the only remaining population include commercial fishing, predation by rainbow smelt and interbreeding with lake herring (Coregonus artedi).

Continental North American ciscoes: Coregonus artedi sensu lato

The Coregonus artedi complex along with C. laurettae and C. autumnalis lineages

There is great doubt whether the Coregonus nigripinnis was an independent species separate from Coregonus artedi (lake herring) or just an ecomorphotype.

Narrowly defined, Coregonus artedi is known variously with the common names cisco, northern cisco, lake herring, chub or tullibee.

Therefore it has been suggested that they should not be recognized formally as distinct taxa, but all considered members of a single species, Coregonus artedi (sensu lato).

It is closely related to the cisco or lake herring, Coregonus artedi, and the shortjaw cisco, both of which it is known to hybridise with.

The bloater is one of the several taxa in the Coregonus artedi complex of freshwater whitefishes, which sometimes all are considered to belong to a single species.

Collectively, these fishes are often referred to as the "Coregonus artedi" complex, or as Coregonus artedi sensu lato (= broad sense).

The narrowly endemic Atlantic whitefish is genetically distinct from the lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) and the cisco (Coregonus artedi), which both are widespread across much of continental North America.

The European cisco has also evolved into ecologically distinct sympatric populations or ecomorphs independently within several lakes (e.g. autumn and spring spawning populations, normal and dwarf morphs), which have been designated as distinct taxa, making the systematics complicated as with the North American Coregonus artedi complex.

Accordingly, Coregonus artedi may refer either in a narrow sense to one of the several types of cisco found e.g. in the Great Lakes, or in a broad sense to the complex of all ciscoes in continental North American lakes, Coregonus artedi sensu lato.
