Hi and thumbs up from Canada Wolfgang,

I loved all your shots , really transmits the clarity of the water well

I did not know Arctic Char were available in Austria.

How do fresh water species react to your presence?

Best Regards, Rodger

Hi Rodger,

Arctic Char is circumpolar and occurs as well in America, Europe and Asia. Usually in the far North, but in cold alpine lakes they can be found even in Austria...

It is a related species, Brook Char (Salvelinus fontinalis), that has been imported from the new world (like many other species)...

These fish react to the presence of divers pretty much the same way as any fish: to some extend shy, but fortunately not too much...

Wolfgang
