The Amur whitefish is a large fish from the salmon family. It lives in the fresh waters of the Amur River basin and feeds on small animals.
The Amur sig differs from other sigs by its large size and special mouth structure. It is important for nature because it serves as food for large predators and maintains balance in rivers.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
