Irish pollan

The pollan isis now considered to a distinct species, but it sometimes is classed as a subspecies of the Arctic cisco Coregonus autumnalis, which is not present elsewhere in Europe, but has anadromous populations in Arctic Siberia, Alaska, and Canada.

The Irish pollan lives in the benthopelagic, freshwater environment.

Irish Pollan (Coregonus autumnalis) is found in Lough Neagh, Lower Lough Erne and the Shannon system (L. Ree and L. Derg). More
