Svärdson, 1979Coregonus trybomi is a freshwater whitefish in the Salmonidae family, described by Gunnar Svärdson in 1979. It is a spring-spawning type of cisco, which probably has evolved from sympatric vendace (Coregonus albula) independently in a number of Swedish lakes. Only one of those populations survives, and it is therefore considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List. The status of Coregonus trybomi as a distinct species is however questionable.
