“…The splitting into morphs like dwarfs and cannibals appears to be a universal trait of landlocked Arctic char populations in northern areas, but under identical hatchery conditions offspring of dwarf and cannibalistic char does not grow differently in speed or maximum size (Janhunen et al, 2010). However, management is critical dependent whether the mechanism underpinning life-history choice is purely dynamic and flexible (Nordeng, 1961;Johnson, 1980;Claessen et al, 2000Claessen et al, , 2002Dempson et al, 2008;Svanbäck et al, 2009) or if there are various levels of genetic control (Hindar et al, 1986;Svenning, 1993;Gislason et al, 1999). In a worst-case scenario from a management perspective, large-growing forms may represent unique genotypes and thereby a distinct management entity from small growing forms.…”
