    Notes: Abstract –  A model based on proximate considerations of life histories of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, was examined for its applicability to fit the variation in life-history of wild Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus, based on a qualitative assessment of information related to growth and lipid dynamics of Arctic charr. The original salmon model is discussed in context of modifications required to account for added complexities in the life history of Arctic charr in relation to anadromy versus residency. A study from North Norway shows that individual charr that emigrate from the lakes to the sea, maintain a high growth rate in the lake in late summer and early autumn compared with resident fish. Their relatively low lipid level in autumn combined with a high rate of change of lipid during winter was associated with postponement of maturation in the anadromous individuals. Individuals that remain resident in the lake arrested growth in autumn. Their high lipid level in autumn combined with a low rate of change of lipid during winter was associated with maturation the following summer, without emigration from freshwater. Results from this and other related studies show similarities with the model derived from lipid and growth dynamics of Atlantic salmon. The adjusted charr model illustrates possible proximate explanations for the high variation in life-history strategies of Arctic charr. However, the model does not account for the characteristic return migration of immature charr into freshwater several weeks after their entry to the sea. The proximate physiological stimulus for this movement of immature fish is not entirely clear.

    Notes: Abstract –  Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen (δ13C and δ15N) were examined in wild and aquaculture origin Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, to evaluate their utility to identify escaped farmed fish. Samples of muscle tissue obtained from wild Conne River, Newfoundland, salmon were significantly more enriched in nitrogen (δ15N: mean = 12.75; SD ± 0.38‰) but depleted in lipid corrected carbon (δ13C′: mean = −20.51; SD ± 0.23‰) by comparison with aquaculture specimens obtained from Bay d'Espoir, Newfoundland (δ15N = 10.96 ± 0.19‰; δ13C′ = −19.25 ± 0.17‰) resulting in a complete separation of the two groups. Aquaculture specimens differed in δ13C′ from analyses of commercial salmon diet by 0.24‰, within the enrichment range associated with trophic transfers, while the δ15N values in salmon muscle were enriched by 5.01‰. Although differences occurred in direct comparisons of white muscle and adipose tissue (N = 49), the average δ13C′ and δ15N signatures varied in absolute amounts by only 0.5‰, supporting the use of adipose tissue as a nonlethal means to determine isotopic signatures of Atlantic salmon.
