Salvelinus killinensis, also known as Haddy charr is a species of char found in certain lakes in Scotland.
It lives in the deeper regions of the lakes, moving to shallower waters only during the spawning season.
Distribution
This Scottish char species is known to live in Loch Killin (Inverness-shire), after which it is named. It is also found in Loch Doine (Trossachs) and perhaps in Loch Builg (Cairngorms) as well.
Recently its presence has been reported in several other lakes of Scotland, although it may be not be Salvelinus killinensis, but a similar species.[2]
