Reproductive strategies in two sympatric morphotypes of Arctic charr in Kalandsvatnet, west Norway
Differences in gonadal development and time of spawning were found in two coexisting morphotypes of Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus in Kalandsvatnet, Norway. Spawning depth and some main life‐history variables also differed. These observations suggest that the two morphotypes do not interbreed freel...

Summary: | Differences in gonadal development and time of spawning were found in two coexisting morphotypes of Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus in Kalandsvatnet, Norway. Spawning depth and some main life‐history variables also differed. These observations suggest that the two morphotypes do not interbreed freely. |
