The status of Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus (L.), in southern Scotland: a cause for concern
The objective of this article is to review the populations of Arctic charr in the south of Scotland which have become locally extinct, and the reasons for their demise. In the British Isles, the Arctic charr in individual lakes have been isolated from each other for thousands of years and have devel...
