Distinguished from congeners in central Europe by the following characters: mouth terminal to subterminal, lower jaw not included in upper jaw; snout conical; 25-31 gill rakers; flank greenish brown with reddish spots, belly yellowish to reddish orange; fins red to orange with white margins (Ref. 59043).
Inhabits deep lakes in glacial valleys and high altitude lakes. Preys on crustaceans, insects and benthic fauna; a few individuals develop as large piscivores, with a distinct morphology. Spawns on pebble to stone bottom on steep slopes, at depths of 30-120 m (Ref. 59043).
