Fera (fish)

Fera is a locally name for several fish species of the genus Coregonus from Switzerland, and France, in particular Savoy. The true fera referred to the species Coregonus fera which was endemic to Lake Geneva but is now extinct. The ”fera” is served as food fish in Switzerland and Savoy, but this one referred to the still surviving relatives of the true fera, which include Coregonus palaea.
