Assessing reasons for changes in the condition of Deception Bay Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus)
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-24)The Raglan Mine sport fishing program has collected biological fish data in Deception Bay, Nunavik, Québec, Canada since 1998 in collaboration with local committees, small scale sampling programs, and government agencies ... -
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 ... -
Effects of temperature on the growth of Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus in Ungava and Labrador, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-01)Arctic surface air temperatures have been warming at twice the global rate, making it one of the most susceptible regions to current climate change. Effects on cold-adapted aquatic species, such as the culturally and ... -
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 ... -
Spatial and temporal patterns of habitat use in anadromous Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus in nearshore marine and overwintering lake environments
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-15)Even though anadromy is integral to the life history of the Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) in many northern regions, little is known about what shapes the patterns of anadromy. Moreover, little is known about the habitat ...
