| Volunteers are working to save the lake and the wildlife that depend on it, such as the ospreys and a rather special fish called vendace. |
| Plants and animal species at risk included sphagnum mosses at Moorthwaite Moss, and vendace fish and floating water plantain at Bassenthwaite. |
| It is known that ruffe eat the eggs of vendace, which are particularly vulnerable because of their long incubation period. |
| For secondary fish species, vendace was the dominant in the Kuusankoski group, whereas no subjects in the coastal group ranked vendace as their primary or secondary fish. |
| The declining populations of the fish are thought to be due to introduced species that utilise the native vendace as a food source, and also due to pollution. |
| One salmonid species found in these lakes is vendace, which is a planktophagous fish. |
