| | Arctic: Summer movements of radio-tagged Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) in Lake Hazen, Nunavut, Canada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | As a result, such charr populations are made up of at least two co-existing forms: a large migratory form (anadromous) and a small resident form that passes its entire life in freshwater (non-anadromous) (Johnson, 1980; Jonsson and Jonsson, 1993). |
 | | The small form of Lake Hazen charr is characterized by slower growth, smaller maximum size, dark coloration, and elongate ventral fins (Reist et al., 1995) and seems to be similar to the non-anadromous arctic charr found throughout the range of the species (Johnson, 1980). |
 | | The 85 large-form charr ranged in fork length from 351 to 685 mm and weighed from 400 to 3100 g; the 31 small-form charr were 305-533 mm long and weighed 260 - 1370 g; and the one charr of indeterminate form was 423 mm long and weighed 730 g. |
