Korani (Salmo letnica)

The Koran (Salmo letnica) is an endemic species of Lake Ohrid, meaning that it is found naturally only in this lake and nowhere else in the world.

Korani is considered:
One of the gastronomic symbols of Pogradec;
a species of particular importance for the biodiversity of Lake Ohrid;
a product closely linked to the cultural and culinary identity of the area.
Due to overfishing in the past, Albania and North Macedonia have taken measures for its protection and repopulation.
