Description
editSakhalinian char can reach a recorded maximum length of 25.0 cm (9.8 inches).[1] The fish is semi-anadromous, migrating up river to spawn in the middle of summer and autumn.[2] The fish are omnivorous, feeding on fish, aerial and aquatic insects and their larvae, amphipods, on insectivorous mammals and mice.[3] The species usually reside in rapid current and sandy or pebbled bottom in holes (up to 1.5-2 meters).[4]
