Salvelinus evasus, is a vulnerable deepwater char or trout living in the Ammersee lake in Bavaria, Southern Germany.[2]
This fish lives in the great depths of the lake, below 80 m. It can reach up to a foot in length, about 30 cm. Salvelinus evasus has a blunt snout and the mouth in subinferior position. Its flanks are silvery to yellowish, often with paler spots. Unlike other deepwater char species its lower fins have white margins.[3]
Deepwater char are highly sensitive to changes in the quality of the water and the similar Salvelinus neocomensis was driven to extinction by eutrophication in other European lakes.[4]
