Salvelinus alpinus, also referred as Arctic charr, is a freshwater salmonid that inhabits the circumpolar region. One of the most remarkable features associated with this species is the amazing variability in different aspects concerning their morphology, life history and behavior. Although four different morphs coexist in Lake Thingvallavatn Iceland (two limnetic and two benthic), this research has dealt with two of them: Planktivorous (PL) and small benthic (SB), limnetic and benthic respectively. Nonetheless, it will be mainly focused on PL morph, especially on the characterization of MHCIIα gene in this population. MHCIIα (Major histocompatibility complex II α chain) can be used as a marker of divergence between morphs due to the high r...
