The Relative Growth of Hybrid Char (Salvelinus fontinalis × Cristivomer namaycush)

Abstract

Hybrid char from Banff were intermediate between the two parental species, lake trout and eastern book trout, in respect to relative growth of some characters; in others they approximated one or other of the parent species. However it was not possible to make comparisons with parent-species material of the same stock as the hybrids' parents and reared under the same conditions.
