Changes in the biological characteristics of Canadian Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) populations in response to climate-induced environmental variation
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-01)Abstract The thesis includes two studies of Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus, responses to climate variation. In the first chapter, site-specific data from a fishery on the Hornaday River, Northwest Territories (NWT), are ... -
Ecology of Juvenile Arctic charr in Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2013-06-14)Increases in global temperatures resulting from climate change have raised concern over potential responses of Arctic charr, <i>Salvelinus alpinus</i>, a cold-adapted freshwater/anadromous fish species in the salmonid ... -
Environmental variability and intraspecies diversification in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus)
(University of Waterloo, 2016-06-17)Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) exhibit what is arguably the greatest observed range of phenotypic and ecological diversity within a single vertebrate species. The patterns of adaptive diversity that have developed among ... -
Factors affecting mercury concentrations in anadromous and non-anadromous Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) from eastern Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-20)Mercury concentrations in freshwater and marine biota are an ongoing concern, even in areas remote from local point sources, such as in the Canadian Arctic and sub-Arctic. Anadromous Arctic charr, which feed in the marine ... -
Using Major Histocompatibility Genes Polymorphism to Identify Arctic Charr (Salvelinus alpinus) Populations
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-18)Arctic charr is the most northerly distributed salmonid and the most abundant fish in high latitude postglacial lakes. Arctic charr lives in oligotrophic water bodies where it has been able to adapt and thrive due, in part, ...
