Coregonus sardinella

Coregonus sardinella, known as the least cisco or the sardine cisco, is a

salmonid fish that inhabits rivers, estuaries and coastal waters of the marginal seas of the Arctic Basin
, as well as some large lakes of those areas.

In North America it is found from the

Pechora River drainage on the European side.[2][3]
It has been introduced in some lakes and rivers in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.[4]

Coregonus sardinella is closely related to the European cisco or vendace Coregonus albula, and also is close to the Siberian peled whitefish C. peled.[5][3] Most recently, it has been argued to be the same species as the European cisco.[6][7]
