Is a predator of mountain rivers, “river leopard,” as fishermen call him. Uskuch is the oldest living species of trout. Outwardly, it is very similar to taimen, but the body is of a wider structure, the spots on the sides are larger, the mouth is small. The color ranges from silvery to deep purple. The caudal peduncle has a small adipose fin that has no rays. The habitat covers the rivers of the Far East, Siberia (from the Ob to the Kolyma), the Baikal basin, Mongolia. Lenok is the most Siberian of all species known to fishermen, more precisely Asian, it is not found anywhere west of the Urals, it has no close relatives - the genus contains only one species. But there are two distinct forms sharp-nosed and blunt-nosed. Both of these forms coexist in the same water system and do not differ in any peculiarities of biology other than the shape of the head. On the sides of the body of both forms of lenok, there are usually rounded dark spots, and in young individuals there are several transverse dark stripes. Lifestyle uskuchaonly slightly differs from the way of life of the taimen. Like taimen, lenok prefers river sections abounding with rifts and relatively wide and deep reaches. It lives in rivers and lakes, rises along rivers to the very upper reaches, in Transbaikalia it even lives in high-mountain glacial lakes. In summer, it widely spreads along small and large mountain rivers and lakes, adhering to rapids and rapids in rivers, and in lakes - sources of rivers and mouths of tributaries. It keeps in small flocks, large individuals keep one by one. In autumn it leaves summer "pastures" and descends to wintering grounds. It becomes sexually mature at the 5th year of life, when it reaches a length of 25-40 cm and a mass of 400-500 g. Females usually mature a year later than males. Lenka dietat an early age it consists of zooplankton, as it grows, it changes in favor of benthic organisms - insect larvae (larvae of stoneflies, mayflies, caddis flies, dragonflies, grasshoppers and other insects, gammaridae, algae), amphipods, small mollusks, earthworms, eggs and juveniles of others fish species (minnow, gudgeon, dace, stonefoot, perch and grayling). Large lenoks sometimes swallow mice, shrews, frogs. Lenok eats at any time of the day, especially actively in the morning and evening. The average lifespan of the ukucha is 5-6 years, by which time the fish reach a weight of 3-4 kg. More than 5 kilograms is already a trophy fish. According to the literature, the maximum weight is 8 kg, but there are cases of catching fish up to 15 kg.
