The Bonneville cisco is a small freshwater fish from the salmon family. It lives only in the cold Bear Lake on the border of the states of Utah and Idaho in the USA.
The Bonneville cisco differs from related cisco species by its limited range and feeding on plankton in a cold lake. It serves as an important link in the food chain of Bear Lake and helps control the plankton population.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
