The first- and second-best ratios retrieved from the LDA ratio extractor of either head or body characters (see Table 1) alone or combined, used for pair-wise comparisons of all contemporary specimens from the four whitefish species of Lake Brienz. For some species comparisons only a subset of characters could be used (a-l); the respective characters that were excluded are listed at the end of the table. Only external characters were used for the LDA comparisons, since internal characters (gill raker and gill arch length) cannot be measured on live specimens, and are thus not informative to assign specimens to species in the field. Due to large size differences between the species the LDA ratios were calculated with three different datasets; once each with individuals larger or smaller than 163.5 mm standard length and once with the full size ranges of all species. For the multi-species comparisons, only the comparisons that yielded distinguishing ratios are shown. δ is a measure of how good shape discriminates in comparison to size (i. e., the smaller the less allometry). Ratios marked with an asterisk * have very little (for the pairwise species comparisons not more than one specimen of one species overlaps with that of the other species) or no overlap and were thus eligible for use in the species key and the diagnoses." httpUri="http://table.plazi.org/id/1938BA3F30891D955E117634DFF76717" pageId="34" pageNumber="113" tableUuid="1938BA3F30891D955E117634DFF76717">11</tableCitation>

: Moderately deep bodied with greatest body depth anterior of the dorsal fin. Dorsal profile moderately arched compared to ventral profile. The dorsal profile from the tip of snout to the anterior origin of dorsal fin is moderately convex, whereas the ventral profile is slightly arched such that is almost straight or slightly convex from the interorbital area to the pelvic fin origin. In some specimens the ventral profile and dorsal profile are similar and only slightly arched. Head moderately short. Mouth is rather thin (i.e., width of upper and lower jaw), moderately short and terminal to sub-terminal. The snout can range from almost equally wide as deep to wider than deep, and is only moderately pronounced, since the tip of the snout can sometimes be fleshy and roundish. Moderately large eye. The eye-socket is thick and triangular (i.e., sickle-shaped). Pectoral fin moderately tapered. The anterior unbranched ray of the erected dorsal fin is almost vertically straight with an approx. 70-80° angle to the body axis and is only bent slightly posteriorly at the end of the ray. Caudal peduncle is moderately stout and short. Caudal fin forked and sometimes slightly asymmetrical with the dorsal part being longer. Unbranched ray of anal fin mostly straight and only sometimes slightly bent posteriorly. Anal fin longest anteriorly and progressively shortening posteriorly with the outer margin of the anal fin mostly slightly concave and only rarely straight.

: Pigmentation of fins and body overall moderate in live specimens. The pectoral fin is mostly translucent and only rarely moderately pigmented at the median to distal parts of the fin. The dorsal, adipose, pelvic, anal, and caudal fins are moderately pigmented. Silvery appearance along the flanks with moderate to many pigmented small dots on the scales. The dots are found along the flank and the dorsum. The distribution of the dots is bound to the scale patterning such that the dots are found at the edge of the scales or at the boundary point of two scales (as can be found for the species of

The silvery, translucent, not coloured or unpigmented parts of the body become brown-yellowish (e.g., RGB (239, 210, 40)), whereas the pigmented parts are conserved and the coloured parts (dorsally above the lateral line) become brownish (e.g., RGB (186, 140, 100)).
