Occurs in deep water. Spawns only around margin of Pyramid Lake in Nevada, USA but formerly made spectacular spawning runs up Truckee River in Nevada, USA. Populations were subject to intensive fishing in the 19th and early 20th century; habitats have been greatly altered by water development projects; species is now endangered (Ref. 47054).

Estimates based on models
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00202 - 0.01242), b=3.09 (2.87 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref.
120179): Zeer laag, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd meer dan 14 jaar (tm=14-17; Fec=30,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
