whitey, Mr. White
Whitefish is an often misused term around the world and in regions of the US. Specifically, and for our purpose, whitefish are of the family Salmonidae which also contains all trout, salmon, char and grayling. Whitefish are of the subfamily Coregoninae and within this subfamily there are three genera. Of these three, only the genus Prosopium is of interest as it contains the Mountain Whitefish.
