Examples
-
Some species, such as Arctic char ( '' Salvelinus alpinus '' [37]), and genera, such as whitefish ( '' Coregonus '' spp. [38]), exhibit evidence of sub-taxa whose origins are apparently related to recurrent isolation of populations throughout the alternating glacial and interglacial stages of the Pleistocene.

For example, in Loch Lomond in Scotland the invasive ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernuus) eats the eggs of an arctic relict species, the powan (Coregonus lavaretus), thereby threatening this species in one of its only British habitats [66].

-
Traditional ecological knowledge from the western Canadian Arctic has identified new species of fish (Pacific salmon – Oncorhynchus spp. and least cisco – Coregonus sardinella) that were not previously present in some aquatic systems of the area [18] (see also Chapter 3, specifically Fig. 3.2).

July through early September, people set gillnets for char, Arctic cod, and least cisco (Coregonus sardinella), and some did rod-and-reel fishing in lakes.

Fisheries yields for such subarctic fish species (i.e., northern pike, lake whitefish, and walleye in eastern North America, and northern pike, European whitefish – Coregonus lavaretus, and percids in northern Europe) have been linked with species-specific (and perhaps region-specific) habitat optima [6].
