Threats to the spawning habitat of this species include pollution and the regulation of water flow by damming. Nevertheless, the IUCN has assessed this species as being of "Least Concern". [1]
Arctic char exhibits a mostly circumpolar distribution. There is no other species of freshwater fish found at a higher latitude. [31] [32] [34] [35] Arctic char is native to Arctic and subarctic coasts and lakes of high elevations. In general, it has been observed in the Canadian Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia, Siberia, and Alaska.
