The sparctic char is the intrageneric hybrid between Arctic char and brook trout. [30] Sparctic char grows faster than either parent species, are stronger and healthier, and are thus popular for sports fisheries. [ 30 ]
The origin of the name "char" or "charr" is unknown, but was perhaps from Celtic, such as the Irish word ceara meaning "fiery red" (found in some Celtic personal names), likely for the bright red belly of the Arctic char; or perhaps borrowed from Middle Low German schar meaning "flounder, dab"; or from Proto-Germanic *skardaz or *skeraną meaning "to cut or shear", possibly referring to its ...

[3] It may be found both in fresh and brackish waters between the Kolyma River and the Bering Sea, including the Rauchua (Bilibino District), the Chaun Bay rivers (Chaun District), Pegtymel River, Amguema River, Vankarem River and Kymyneyveem River (Iultinsky ...

Salvelinus umbla, also known as lake char, is a species of char found in certain lakes of the region of the Alps in Europe. [ 2 ] This char species usually inhabits the deeper waters of the lakes, feeding on crustaceans, insects and benthic fauna.
The Sunapee trout (Salvelinus alpinus oquassa), also called blueback trout, Sunapee Golden trout, or Quebec red trout, is a putative subspecies of Arctic char native to northeastern New England in the United States, as well as Québec and New Brunswick in Canada, with introduced populations in Idaho.
The long-finned char is a morphologically aberrant type of char; when scientifically first described in 1990, it was placed as the single species in Salvethymus, a new monotypic genus. It is closely related to the true chars in the genus Salvelinus and is phylogenetically placed within this genus; it is probably a sister lineage to the Arctic ...
