Mongolian grayling

The Mongolian grayling, Thymallus brevirostris, is a freshwater fish endemic to landlocked river systems in Mongolia, the Inner Mongolia region of China, and nearby parts of the Russian Far East, first described by Karl Kessler in 1879. It is regarded as the largest species of grayling in the world and holds cultural significance for the communities along the rivers and lakes it inhabits, including the Khovd River, Issyk Kul and the lakes and rivers of the Altai Mountains. Its conservation status has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN.
