Taxonomy edit
Name edit
The English word "char[r]" is thought to derive from Old Irish ceara/cera meaning "[blood] red,"[14] referring to its pink-red underside.[15][16] This would also connect with its Welsh name torgoch, "red belly."[17]
Biology edit
Salvelinus colii spawns in November/December.[1] Feeds on benthic and planktonic invertebrates.[18]
