| Summary: | The perialpine lakes of Switzerland form the southern geographic range limit of the genus Salvelinus (lake char). Officially, one species of Salvelinus is currently native to Switzerland according to federal law (VBGF): Salvelinus umbla. This species naturally occurs in all deep perialpine lakes north of the Alps, and was introduced into many alpine and southern perialpine lakes, beginning in medieval times and extensively in the 19 th – 20 th century. Two additional endemic species of Salvelinus once occurred in Switzerland: a deep-water adapted (profundal) species in each of lakes Constance (Salvelinus profundus) and Neuchatel (Salvelinus neocomensis). These species were considered to have been driven extinct by the negative effects of lake eutrophication. [9] The genus Salvelinus is renowned for its diversity of ecologically distinct forms in northern latitude lakes, for example Iceland, Scandinavia and Siberia, often with multiple forms occurring within the same lake. In several cases, these forms have ... : Published as part of Alexander, Timothy & Seehausen, Ole, 2021, Diversity, distribution and community composition of fish in perialpine lakes – " Projet Lac " synthesis report, Eawag: Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology on pages 137-139, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5779569 ... |
