Anticipating climate change impacts on Mongolian salmonids: bioenergetics models for lenok and Baikal grayling

The Eg–Uur River ecosystem in north‐central Mongolia provides an opportunity to study salmonid species in a system that has already experienced significant climate change. These species are currently imperilled in Mongolian waters, with Baikal grayling ( Thymallus arcticus baicalensis) listed as near‐threatened and lenok ( Brachymystax lenok ) listed as vulnerable on the Mongolian red list.
