Alternative life-history styles in salmonine fishes with emphasis on arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus

  • Chapter
Alternative Life-History Styles of Animals

Part of the book series: Perspectives in vertebrate science ((PIVS,volume 6))

Synopsis

The widespread occurrence of local phenotypic differentiation within salmonine species, especially arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus, is considered from the perspective of the evolution of life-history styles. Heterochronic shifts in ontogeny in relation to niche utilization are discussed as a possible proximate mechanism to account for this phenomenon. The relatively high degree of philopatry, especially homing to particular spawning locations, combined with localized differentiation of physical conditions on the spawning grounds predisposes the salmonines to the evolution of localized, differentiated spawning stocks. This differentiation ranges from relatively minor phenotypic distinctions, such as colour variants, through more distinct trophic morphs to sympatric sub-species or possibly even distinct species.
