'Houtings' were said to be surviving in Denmark. However, new research showed that 'Houtings' from the Danish North Sea basin and German rivers are Coregonus maraena. The Rhine contains Coregonus maraena that have been introduced and an yet undescribed species called Coregonus sp. 'Rhine'.^[1]

The last true Houting was caught in the lower Rhine in 1940.^[1][3]
