The cisco occasionally grows as large as 400 mm and 5 pounds (2.3 kg). It has silver sides. They live in cold water lakes and rivers in North America and eat zooplankton and insect larvae. It is a pelagic fish occurring in the midwater zone of lakes, related to the lake whitefish. They are preyed upon by game fish, like pike and lake trout, and are fished commercially and for sport in some locations. Commercial fishing, salmon stocking and competition from non-native alewives and smelt have almost eliminated cisco from the Great Lakes. Their ongoing population decline today in much of the Great Lakes is believed to be principally a result of alewife competition although other factors may also be at work.
