'''''Coregonus''''' is a diverse [[genus]] of [[fish]] in the salmon [[family (biology)|family]] ([[Salmonidae]]).  The ''Coregonus'' species are known as '''whitefishes'''.  The genus contains at least 68 described [[Extant taxon|extant]] taxa, but the true number of species is a matter of debate. The [[type species]] of the genus is ''[[Coregonus lavaretus]]''.

Most ''Coregonus'' species inhabit lakes and rivers, and several species, including the [[Arctic cisco]] (''C.&nbsp;autumnalis''), the [[Bering cisco]] (''C.&nbsp;laurettae''), and the [[least cisco]] (''C.&nbsp;sardinella'') are [[anadromous]], moving between [[Seawater|salt water]] and [[fresh water]].

Many whitefish species or [[ecotype]]s, especially from the [[Great Lakes]] and the Alpine lakes of [[Europe]], have gone [[extinct]] over the past century or are [[endangered species|endangered]]. Among 12 freshwater fish considered extinct in Europe, 6 are ''Coregonus''.<ref>{{cite book | veditors = Closs GP, Krkosek M, Olden JD | date = 2016 | title = Conservation of Freshwater Fishes | page = 8 | publisher = Cambridge University Press | isbn = 978-1-107-04011-3 }}</ref> All ''Coregonus'' species are protected under appendix III of the [[Bern Convention (conservation)|Bern Convention]],<ref name="Bern">Council of Europe, 1979.

== Taxonomy ==
Phylogenetic evidence indicates that the most [[Basal (phylogenetics)|basal]] member of the genus is the highly endangered [[Atlantic whitefish]] (''C. huntsmani''), which is [[Endemism|endemic]] to a single river basin in [[Nova Scotia]], [[Canada]]. The Atlantic whitefish is thought to have diverged from the rest of the genus during the mid-[[Miocene]], about 15 million years ago.<ref name="Whitelaw_2015">{{cite book | vauthors = Whitelaw J  | date = 2015  |title=Atlantic whitefish (Coregonus huntsmani) culture handbook | publisher = Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Science Branch, Maritimes Region | location = Dartmouth, Nova Scotia |isbn=978-0-660-02539-1 |oclc=980875338}}</ref><ref name="Crête-Lafrenière_2012">{{cite journal | vauthors = Crête-Lafrenière A, Weir LK, Bernatchez L | title = Framing the Salmonidae family phylogenetic portrait: a more complete picture from increased taxon sampling | journal = PLOS ONE | volume = 7 | issue = 10 | article-number = e46662 | date = 2012-10-05 | pmid = 23071608 | pmc = 3465342 | doi = 10.1371/journal.pone.0046662 | bibcode = 2012PLoSO...746662C | doi-access = free }}</ref>

The genus was previously subdivided into two subgenera ''Coregonus'' ("true whitefishes") and ''Leucichthys'' ("[[ciscoes]]"), ''Coregonus'' comprising taxa with sub-terminal mouth and usually a benthic feeding habit, ''Leucichthys'' those with terminal or supra-terminal mouth and usually a pelagic plankton-feeding habit. This classification is not natural however: based on [[molecular systematics|molecular data]], ciscoes comprise two distinct lineages within the genus. Moreover, the genus ''[[Stenodus]]'' is not phylogenetically distinct from ''Coregonus''; although ''Stenodus'' occupies a basal position within the genus, phylogenetic evidence indicates that ''C.  huntsmani'' is even more basal than it.<ref name="Crête-Lafrenière_2012" /><ref name="Bernatchez_1991">{{cite journal | vauthors = Bernatchez L, Colombani F, Dodson JJ | title = Phylogenetic relationships among the subfamily Coregoninae as revealed by mitochondrial DNA restriction analysis. | journal = Journal of Fish Biology | date = December 1991 | volume = 39 | pages = 283–290 | doi = 10.1111/j.1095-8649.1991.tb05091.x | bibcode = 1991JFBio..39S.283B | url = http://www.bio.ulaval.ca/labdodson/Papers%20Julian/Bernatchez_1991_JFB.pdf }}</ref>

The scientific name given to this genus of fish comes from the Greek [[wikt:κόρη|κόρη]] (''kórē'') "daughter ; eye pupil" and [[wikt:γωνία|γωνία]] (''gōnía'') "angle",<ref>{{cite web |url= https://fishbase.mnhn.fr/summary/48246 |title= Coregonus nilssoni Valenciennes, 1848 |author=<!--Not stated--> |date= |website= FishBase |publisher= |access-date= 17 August 2024 |quote=}}</ref> because their [[pupil]] makes an angle, even though they share this feature with a large number of other fish.

=== Species diversity ===
There is much uncertainty and confusion in the classification of the many species of this genus. Particularly, one extreme view of diversity recognises just two main species in Northern and Central Europe, the [[common whitefish]] ''C. lavaretus'' and the [[Coregonus albula|vendace]] ''C. albula'', whereas others would divide these into numerous, often narrowly distributed species. A drastic increase in number of recognized species occurred in 2007, when a review advocated that more than 50 local European populations should be considered as distinct based on [[Morphology (biology)|morphological]] differences.<ref name="Kottelat_2007">{{cite book | vauthors = Kottelat M, Freyhof J |title=Handbook of European Freshwater Fishes |date=2007 |publisher=Publications Kottelat |location=Cornol, Switzerland |isbn=978-2-8399-0298-4}}</ref> It has been estimated that several of them are very young, having separated from each other less than 15,000 years ago.<ref name="Hudson_2016">{{cite journal | vauthors = Hudson AG, Lundsgaard-Hansen B, Lucek K, Vonlanthen P, Seehausen O | title = Managing cryptic biodiversity: Fine-scale intralacustrine speciation along a benthic gradient in Alpine whitefish (''Coregonus'' spp.) | journal = Evolutionary Applications | volume = 10 | issue = 3 | pages = 251–266 | date = March 2017 | pmid = 28250810 | pmc = 5322408 | doi = 10.1111/eva.12446 | bibcode = 2017EvApp..10..251H }}</ref> Many of these were primarily defined based on number of [[gill raker]]s.
