The mean size and weight of arctic char are 25.5 cm and 222 g.The maximum size can reach 38.5 cm and weight 875 g.The bulk of the population consists of fish with a weight ofbetween 100-200 g and length 20-26 cm. Individuals with a weight of bubot 18 over 500 g and longer than 30 cm occur occasionally (Fig. 27). The age distribu- char34.5 tion is predominately 4- to 5-year-old fish.

Age distribution ofarctic char in Lake Shuonijaur. The mean weight of trout in this lake is 190 g and length 24.4 cm. The size of the fish varies between 47-384 g and 16.5-31.0 cm, respectively. Fish with a weight of 150- 200 g and length 22-26 cm are the most abundant (Fig. 29). As is the case for arctic char, the bulk of the trout population (89%) consists of 4- to 5-year-old fish (Fig. 30). Female fish predominate over males (1.3:1). 64 Catalogue o f Lakes in the Russian, Finnish and Norwegian Border Area
