That must be the reason why you lost your admin status, loser. you gave up your entire life on wiki than it stabbed you in the back. Who gives you the right to threaten to block me (anymore)? If you threaten me one more time I will block you. |

The Atlantic whitefish has a typical salmonid body shape and is silvery on the sides and underside with a dark blue to dark green back. They are [[anadromous]], living most of their adult lives in coastal ocean water, but spawning in inland streams in Nova Scotia. Although much about them is unknown, it is believed that they feed on [[amphipods]], small [[common periwinkle|periwinkles]], and [[marine worms]] in ocean coastal waters and small fish, fish eggs, and invertebrates in freshwater. |
