Range and Identity
The inventory identity is Salmo letnica. Lake Ohrid supports a complex trout fauna, so the common name should not be used to combine every local Salmo form without checking identification. A record benefits from the lake locality and the scientific name used by its source.
Habitat and Behavior
Adults inhabit the lake, with spawning recorded in littoral and sublittoral areas during winter in the retrieved account. That regional timing should not be extended to unrelated trout or every population labeled with a broad Ohrid name. Exact spawning locality adds useful context.
Food and Life History
Young feed on zooplankton, while adults also consume fishes, including Alburnus scoranza. The compiled maximum references are seventy-six centimeters total length and 6.5 kilograms. These values are independent upper measurements, not a paired specimen record or a prediction of the size of a normal adult.
Field Note
Keep the lake form and scientific identification attached to a trout record. Shared geography does not erase differences among closely related local fishes.
