The Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) in Thingvallavatn, Iceland, exhibits four morphs. Small benthivorous charr grow slowly, have an asymptotic length of 13 cm, and mature at an age of 2–4 yr. Large benthivorous charr grow faster and almost rectilinearly with age. They mature at an age of 3–11 yr. Planktivorous and piscivorous charr have even higher initial growth rate, but planktivorous charr cease growing at 20 cm and piscivorous charr at a fork length of 30 cm. They mature at 3–5 yr and 5–10 yr of age, respectively. The gonadosomatic index and the annual allocation of energy into gonads relative to soma were higher for planktivorous and piscivorous than for benthivorous charr. The results indicate that piscivorous and planktivorous charr belong to the same gene pool; piscivorous charr are probably recruited from the most fast-growing planktivorous individuals and start feeding on fish at a length of 23 cm. The benthivorous morphs may belong to different stocks due to significant differences in several life history variables as well as genetics, spawning time, and feeding habitat. The four morphs seem to be differentiated within the lake through trophic radiation, but should be considered as conspecifics.

Abstract Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.) were exposed to five levels of acidity between pH 6 and pH 3.8. Swimming performance as determined by critical swimming speeds was 67.5 cm · sࢤ1 or 4.4 body lengths per second for untreated fish (pH 7.8). Performance declined sharply below pH 4.5; at pH 3.8 it was reduced by 35% after 7 days of exposure. Tailbeat frequencies and ventilation rates showed no dose-response effects. At swimming speeds between 20 and 50 cm · sࢤ1, ventilation rates at all levels of acidity were higher than at the control level.

Incorporation of genomic technologies into fish breeding programs is a modern reality, promising substantial advances regarding the accuracy of selection, monitoring the genetic diversity and pedigree record verification. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays are the most commonly used genomic tool, but the investments required make them unsustainable for emerging species, such as Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus), where production volume is low. The requirement to genotype a large number of animals for breeding practices necessitates cost effective genotyping approaches. In the current study, we used double digest restriction site-associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing of either high or low coverage to genotype Arctic charr from the Swedish national breeding program and performed analytical procedures to assess their utility in a range of tasks. SNPs were identified and used for deciphering the genetic structure of the studied population, estimating genomic relationships and implementing an association study for growth-related traits. Missing information and underestimation of heterozygosity in the low coverage set were limiting factors in genetic diversity and genomic relationship analyses, where high coverage performed notably better. On the other hand, the high coverage dataset proved to be valuable when it comes to identifying loci that are associated with phenotypic traits of interest. In general, both genotyping strategies offer sustainable alternatives to hybridization-based genotyping platforms and show potential for applications in aquaculture selective breeding.
