Coregonus migratorius is a fish species native to Lake Baikal and its tributaries in Russia and Mongolia. This fish is heavily exploited in both commercial and recreational fisheries and has been stocked outside its native range. C. migratorius has become established outside its native range in Russia, Mongolia, and Kyrgyzstan. Although Coregonus migratorius is established in lakes outside of its native range there is little information on impacts, leading to a history of invasiveness of Data Deficient. Overall, the climate match for the contiguous United States was High. Most of the contiguous United States had medium local matches. Areas of the northern Great Lakes and Great Plains had high local matches. The certainty of this assessment is Low due to no relevant information on impacts of introductions and part of the introduced range of the species not being represented in the source points of the climate match. The overall risk assessment for Coregonus migratorius is Uncertain.
