Abstract
Smolt of anadromous Arctic charr Sahelinus alpinus (L.) migrating from Storvatn, northern Norway, had a similar feeding intensity as resident Arctic charr from the benthic‐ and pelagic zone in early summer in fresh water. While smolts fed mostly on surface insects, however, resident Arctic charr had a more broader diet consisting mostly of chironomids, Bosmina sp., benthic prey and surface insects. This indicates that Arctic charr smolts have adopted a surface oriented feeding behaviour prior to their sea migration.
