Arctic Char

Arctic char farming is showing promising developments, with significant progress made in optimizing rearing conditions and feed formulations. Research indicates that Arctic char can thrive under a range of temperatures, with optimal growth conditions varying depending on the size of the fish. For instance, smaller fish (0.5–25 g) grow best at 15°C, while larger fish (100–500 g) perform well at 8–12°C. This adaptability makes Arctic char a viable candidate for aquaculture in various regions. Moreover, the farming of Arctic char is being integrated into broader socio-ecological systems, particularly in the Nordic Arctic and Subarctic regions, where it is seen as a potential tourism product.
