 The candlefish is a small (at most 10 inch) fish with a blue-silver color that turns to gray-brown at spawning time.  The candlefish spends its adult life in the sea, but returns to their the gravelly beaches of their freshwater birth-streams to spawn and die.  The candlefish’s flesh is oily and high in fat; in fact, the candlefish is so fatty during spawning (with up to 15% of total body weight in fat) that a large portion of the catch each year is not eaten, but dried, strung on a wick, and then burned as a candle.  The elves of the Holt not only use the candlefish for illumination, but the fish is also sometimes allowed to ferment and then rendered down for its rich oil, which is easily skimmed and preserved.

-Candlefish runs are considered extremely valuable, as they arrive at the end of winter when other food resources are scarce.  A small portion of each catch is dried and smoked for eating -– as high in fat as candlefish are, they make an excellent wintertime food. The candlefish run is concentrated on the Braided River, where the tides run strong from the sea.  Their migration lasts one or two weeks, and female fish usually preceed the males.  Most candlefish fishing is done by net -- a single large net handled by two to four elves can catch hundreds of these small fish at a time.

-Candlefish runs are not clockwork affairs, and while regular late summer runs are common, they are not completely predictable, and sometimes a a full year or two will pass with no candlefish returning to spawn at all.  A smaller portion of each catch is dried and smoked for eating – as high in fat as candlefish are, they make an excellent wintertime food.  The candlefish run is concentrated on the Rushwater and Bounty rivers, although a smaller number can be found heading upstream up the Holt River as well.

 Whitefish are a freshwater fish similar in size and appearance to salmon.  They are generally olive green to blue-black with silvery sides, with a small mouth below a rounded snout, and a deeply forked tail. The meat of a whitefish is white and very flavourful.  Whitefish are found in lakes, as they prefer deep, cool water.
