Salvelinus evasus, is a vulnerable deepwater char or trout living in the Ammersee lake in Bavaria, Southern Germany.

[2] This fish lives in the great depths of the lake, below 80 m. It can reach up to a foot in length, about 30 cm.

Salvelinus evasus has a blunt snout and the mouth in subinferior position.

Unlike other deepwater char species its lower fins have white margins.

[3] Deepwater char are highly sensitive to changes in the quality of the water and the similar Salvelinus neocomensis was driven to extinction by eutrophication in other European lakes.
