	Coregunus lavaretus - Gwyniad
		The gwyniad is a whitefish - a kind of land-locked herring.
		Another threat to this rare species is the ruffe that have been introduced to the lake recently; these bottom-dwelling perch-like fish are quite likely to be eating some of the gwyniad eggs.
		The Environment Agency Wales hatchery at Maerdy has been rearing gwyniad from Llyn Tegid stock; the idea is to help maintain the natural population until the waters of Llyn Tegid can be restored to a satisfactory standard.

	Bala
		The theological college of the Calvinistic Methodists and the grammar school, which was founded in 1712, are the chief features, together with the statue of the Rev. Thomas Charles[?] (1755-1814), the distinguished theological writer, to whom was largely due the foundation of the British and Foreign Bible Society[?].
		Lake Bala[?], the largest in Wales (4 miles / 6.4 km long by a mile / 1.6 km wide), is subject to sudden and dangerous floods, and being deep and clear, is full of pike, perch, trout, eel and gwyniad[?].
		The gwyniad (Coregonus lavaretus) is very rare and only found in certain waters, such as Bala Lake, and is fully described by Thomas Pennant[?] in his Zoology (1776).

	BBC - North West Wales Nature - Gwyniad
		The rare gwyniad fish - trapped in the lake at the end of the last Ice Age, some 10,000 years ago - is in danger because its natural home is increasingly unsuitable.
		The gwyniad has also come under threat from the ruffe, which was introduced to Llyn Tegid in the 1980s.
		This year, gwyniad eggs stripped from spawning fish will again be taken from Llyn Tegid to a new site where it's hoped a new population will flourish under more favourable conditions.

	Gwyniad - LoveToKnow 1911
		GWYNIAD, the name given to a fish of the genus Coregonus or White fish (C.
		It is well flavoured, like all the species of Coregonus, but scarcely attains to the weight of a pound.
		The name gwyniad is a Welsh word, and signifies "shining"; and it is singular that a similar fish in British Columbia, also belonging to the family of Salmonoids, is called by the natives "quinnat," from the silvery lustre of its scales, the word having in their language the same meaning as the Welsh "gwyniad."

		They fear the gwyniad could be killed off by pollution or disease.
		Another problem facing conservationists is that male gwyniad outnumber females by 10 to 1.
		Mr Morris explained: "It is a CCW initiative and the idea is to try and set up a back-up colony of gwyniad, which could replace or replenish stocks at Bala, if for instance we have a pollution incident.

	Tromsnes Gård
		The Lågen is famous as an excellent, well-stocked fishing river containing strong populations of trout, grayling, gwyniad (coregunus lavaretus), perch and ling.
		Lågen trout are notable for their size, growing as large as 24lbs (11kg).
		Large stocks of grayling and gwyniad also live here, often in shoals, and they provide interesting fishing, especially in the evenings and at night.
