noun
North Americanzoology
A silvery freshwater fish of the whitefish family, found chiefly in the lakes of North America.
The cisco belongs to the genus Coregonus, a group of cold-water fish related to salmon and trout that thrives in deep, clear lakes. Several distinct species are called cisco, including the lake cisco and the shortjaw cisco, and many populations have declined sharply because of pollution and competition from introduced fish. Anglers and commercial fisheries in the Great Lakes region have long depended on the cisco as a source of food and sport.
