Morphology of phylonems infesting whitespotted char Salvelinus leucomaenis and sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka in Lake Kisi at the northern coast of the Okhotsk Sea is described for the first time. Sockeye was infected with adults of Philonema oncorhynchi Kuitunen-Ekbaum, 1933 and larvae of other nematode species (Philonema sp. II), and char — with adult dracunculoid nematode designated as Philonema sp. I. This Philonema sp. I differs considerably from Ph. oncorhynchi by number of reproductive papillae, their distribution, and structure of cuticular appendices on the caudal end of males. Larvae of Philonema sp. I (1st stage) and Philonema sp. II (3rd stage) are described, as well. These new data allow to reconsider the species belonging of nematodes infesting chars (Salvelinus) in North-East of Russia, which are identified now mostly as Ph. oncorhynchi.
