Salmo ezenami is a critically endangered freshwater salmonid fish, endemic to Lake Kezenoi-Am (Lake Eizenam) in Northern Caucasus.
[2] Salmo ezenami used to be the only fish species in Lake Kezenoi-Am.
However, two other species, the European chub and Caspian gudgeon have been introduced, and present a threat by eating the fry of Salmo.
[2] Salmo ezenami spawns in the lake, close to underwater springs.
Young prey on gammarids and chironomids; adults also eat molluscs and fishes, after the introduction of nonnative species.
