European Grayling
Thymallus thymallus
Adult European grayling inhabit clear, cool rivers and occasionally lakes with clean gravel bottoms and steady current. They take aquatic invertebrates, drifting insects, and surface insects, often rising neatly to feeding opportunities. Males are notable for their tall, colorful dorsal fin, which is prominently displayed during courtship and territorial encounters.
