Artist Note: At times customers or anglers request us to use a reference photograph to paint by. If so our skilled artists will identify any unique characteristics in the photo which are later reflected in the completed paint scheme. This is why no two mounts are ever exactly alike and explains the differences you may see in the coloration of the various mounts.

- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Salvelinus alpinus
- Average Weight: 2 - 4 lbs.
- Location & Habitat: The most northerly of all freshwater fish, occurring around the globe from Maine and New Hampshire in the United States, northward across northern Canada, Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, and from northern Russia, south to Lake Baikal and Kamchatka as well as in Iceland, Great Britain, Scandinavia, the Alps, and Spitsbergen.
- Biology: Migratory behaviour in the Arctic charr varies.Certain populations make annual migrations from the sea to a freshwater lake or river. Other populations remain within their freshwater habitat throughout their lives.Migratory Arctic charr usually reach sexual maturity and spawn for the first time at four to ten years old, whereas lake-dwelling individuals spawn after two to five years. The Arctic charr only spawns every two to four years, once the reproductive organs have redeveloped from the last season.The breeding behaviour of the Arctic charr varies greatly between populations, with some individuals spawning in freshwater lakes after migrating from the sea. Spawning usually takes place onto a rocky or gravelly substrate.The male Arctic charr sometimes build a nest, which can be up to 2m or 3m in diameter, where it spawns with several females.Males become very territorial during the spawning season.
- Physical Description: Arctic char have light colored spots on a dark background.They vary in color depending on the lakes conditions and the time of year. The back is dark with a brownish or olive cast. The sides are lighter, fading to a pale belly. The overall color may be brown, yellow, gold, orange, or red. As the char approaches spawning, the spots, belly, and fins take on a bright orange, red, or gold cast, and the lower fins have white leading edges. The entire body may become golden or orange. Spawning colors are more exaggerated in males than in females."
