The Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) is a freshwater char native to northern North America, primarily inhabiting deep, cold lakes in Canada and the United States. It is highly valued both as a game fish and a food source. Lake Trout exhibit varied coloration, often darker in deep-water populations. They are known for their longevity and can grow to significant sizes, with some individuals reaching up to 127 cm in length and weighing as much as 46kg.
