Coregonus artedi, commonly known as the
cisco, is a North American species of
freshwater whitefish in the
family Salmonidae. The number of species and definition of species limits in North American
ciscoes is a matter of debate. Accordingly,
Coregonus artedi may refer either in a
narrow sense to one of the several types of cisco found e.g. in the Great Lakes, or in a
broad sense to the complex of all ciscoes in continental North American lakes,
Coregonus artedi sensu lato.
