  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Lake charr&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;Salvelinus namaycush&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;life history and population dynamics metrics were reviewed to evaluate populations inside (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;n&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;=&amp;nbsp;462) and outside (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;n&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;=&amp;nbsp;24) the native range. Our goals were to create a database of metrics useful for evaluating population status and to test for large-scale patterns between metrics and latitude and lake size. An average lake charr grew from a 69-mm length at age-0 (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;L&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;) at 89&amp;nbsp;mm/year early growth rate (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;ω&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) to 50% maturity at 420&amp;nbsp;mm (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;L&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;) at age 8 (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;t&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;), and then continued to grow toward a 717-mm asymptotic length (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;L&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;∞&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;L&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;was positively correlated to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;ω&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;, whereas&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;t&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;was inversely correlated to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;ω&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;. Lake charr grew slower toward larger size and older age in northern latitudes and larger lakes than in southern latitudes and smaller lakes. Population density (number/ha) and yield density (kg/ha) decreased with lake size, and yield and total annual mortality (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;A&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) decreased with latitude. Native populations grew slower (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;ω&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;), were heavier at 500&amp;nbsp;mm (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;W&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;500&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;), matured at shorter&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;L&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;, grew to a shorter&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;L&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;∞&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;, and suffered lower annual mortality&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;A&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;than non-native populations. Our review and database should be useful to managers and researchers for quantifying lake charr population status across the species range.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
