What is Inconnu?

Inconnu is a silver white fish that inhabits arctic and sub-arctic waters. Found mainly in Yukon, British Columbia and Siberia, Inconn is also known as Sheefish or Coney. This species, stenodus leucichthys , is the largest in the Whitefish family and in some areas it grows up to 4.9 feet (1.5 m). Although Inconnu has been the basis of native diet for thousands of years, it is usually not harvested or bred for commercial purposes. The average length of the adult is between 17 and 30 inches (45 to 75 cm), although some captured in Siberian waters were reported almost 5 feet in length (1.5 m). Their average weight of adults is £ 40 (18 kg). These fish have a protruding lower jaw dotted with many extremely fine teeth and the dorsal fin low on the spine closer to their visible tail than other white fish.

is known little Inconn life cycle. It is assumed to emerge all year every two to four years, either migrating from the ocean to freshwater rivers or the remaining sweetsOver lakes, depending on the species. Mladá Inconna inhabits their friction for seven to 10 years when they become adults, and then move to larger lakes. It is estimated that the North American version of this fish will live for 11 years, while his Siberian cousin has lived twice as long.

Inconnu for adults are carnivorous, they eat smaller fish such as Stickkleback and intestinal, small crustaceans and water insects. Their youngsters eat mainly zooplankton and larvae of insects of water, progress to greater prey when they are adults and moved to their lake stations. Once Inconnu is grown, they have little, if at all, predators. However, juveniles are often consumed by larger fish, including their own species.

Ondruha's silver whitefish disappeared from nature. The population was used every year to migrate almost 2,000 miles (3,218 km) from the ocean to the premises, but as soon as their migration waterways wereinterrupted by dams, this species failed. They now only exist in fish regret, although attempts to complement their earlier habitats.

Although Inconnu has eaten original nations throughout history, it is not a typical food fish for most North America. Its meat is usually scaly but greasy and generally best smoked or dried
