Life History Traits of Arctic Charr and Environmental Factors: Local Variability and Latitudinal Gradients

Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is the only Arctic freshwater fish species of the salmonid family that has wholly circumpolar distribution (Fig. 1.). It also exhibits the widest latitudinal range, and occurrs farthest to the north, up to ca. 85 °N latitude. The main distribution is north of 55 ° N...
