Salvethymus svetovidovi, also called the long-finned charr, is a species of salmonid fish.
It is endemic to Elgygytgyn Lake in Chukotka, Far East of Russia,[2][1] together with another species, the small-mouth char Salvelinus elgyticus.
[4][3] The long-finned char is a morphologically aberrant type of char; when scientifically first described in 1990, it was placed as the single species in Salvethymus, a new monotypic genus.
It is closely related to the true chars in the genus Salvelinus and is phylogenetically placed within this genus; it is probably a sister lineage to the Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) complex.
