The vendace is a small freshwater fish belonging to the family Salmonidae. It is primarily found in the lakes of Scotland and England, particularly in Loch Lomond and Lake Windermere. Vendace are known for their silvery bodies and can grow up to 25 centimeters in length. They prefer cold, clean waters and are often associated with deep, clear lakes. This fish species is notable for its diet, which mainly consists of small zooplankton. The vendace is considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and changes in water quality. Conservation efforts are in place to protect its populations and ensure its survival in the wild.
