A freshwater fish found in Welsh lakes, particularly Bala Lake, considered a rare and protected species closely related to whitefish.
From Welsh origin, the scientific name 'Coregonus lavaretus' indicates it's related to the whitefish family; the word came into English through naturalists studying Welsh fauna.
The gurniad exists nowhere else on Earth except Bala Lake in Wales—it's so endangered that losing this one lake would mean losing an entire species found nowhere else in the world!
