The size of lipid depots‐a factor contributing to the control of food intake in Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus?
Food intake of Arctic charr was greatest in the fish with reduced lipid depots. It is suggested that appetite declines as lipid accumulates and energy reserves become repleted, such that energy reserves are then maintained close to some set‐point.
