Salmo pallaryi

(Salmo pallaryi)

Description

Salmo pallaryi was a species of trout that inhabited a single lake in the Atlas mountains of northern Morocco, at higher than 2000 metres altitude. It went extinct in the 1930s, probably because of introduction of common carp in the lake. Only two individuals remain in museum collections.
