Max length : 120 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 56527); max. published weight: 15.0 kg (Ref. 56527); max. reported age: 9 years (Ref. 56527)

The land-locked form prefers low temperature streams, below 15°C. Young of the sea-run form enter the sea at 2 years of age and return to the rivers for spawning when they are 4 years or older. Found in summertime water temperature of 13-15° C (Ref. 12218). Carnivore, feeding on insects and plankton (Ref. 12218). Utilized fresh, smoked and frozen; can be broiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988). Two forms: the land-locked form which reaches 35 cm, and the ocean form of 70 cm (Ref. 9137).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 1.4 - 19.2, mean 5.1 °C (based on 106 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00457 (0.00180 - 0.01158), b=3.10 (2.88 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.4 ±0.7 se; based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tmax=5; k >0.30).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (72 of 100).
