Maturité: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 40.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5723); common length : 27.5 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 12193)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 10 - 12; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 9 - 12; Vertèbres: 63 - 64. Body elongate and tapering, compressed laterally but less so than lake whitefish, greatest body depth at front of dorsal fin.
