Aggregate of freshwater fish found in the Arctic. Twenty-eight different species of fishes occur in Arctic lakes or rivers. A few of these species spend a portion of their life in the ocean, but so long as they return to breed in freshwater, they have been included here. Brian W. Coad, James D. Reist. (2017). Marine Fishes of Arctic Canada ...
[42] [43] Teleost diversity becomes low at extremely high latitudes; at Franz Josef Land, up to 82°N, ice cover and water temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) for a large part of the year limit the number of species; 75 percent of the species found there are endemic to the Arctic.

The Arctic lamprey is a commercially important edible fish with fatty flesh. It is reared in aquaculture. [4] The ammocoetes are used as bait. 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]

The main predators of Arctic char include sea otters (Enhyrda lutris), polar bears (Ursus maritimus), humans (Homo sapiens), ferox trout (Salmo ferox), and other fish species. [36] [37] Dwarf Arctic char are also often cannibalistically consumed by giant Arctic char. [36] [37] As ferox trout are an apex predator, Arctic char is thus a key ...
Alaska blackfish are small, with an average length of 108 mm (4.3 in), but have been known to reach 330 mm (13 in). [3]They have an easily distinguishable morphology (a branch of biology dealing with the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features), with relatively large, posterior dorsal fin and anal fins, large, lobed pectoral fins located just ...
Unlike other species of tadpole shrimp, Lepidurus arcticus is known to coexist with fish, such as Arctic char, [4] brown trout [6] and European whitefish. [5] Furthermore, they exist in water temperatures much colder (4–7 °C or 39–45 °F) than the other species of its order. [ 9 ]
