~ I do believe the order of 'Arctic Char' and 'Capelin' need to be reversed here... ? I cannot see an arctic char being ate by a little capelin, though I suspect the inverse. ;) (This comment moved from the main page, due to personal incompetance in the use of links. *sigh*) CowMan (talk) 03:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Noticed the same.

As a "budding" marine biologist, I have to agree with Cowman. The Capelin is about the size of a smelt or herring, while Arctic Char can reach several pounds. One more thing- the Arctic Charis a freshwater species. Some populations are actually anadromous, but in a "mirror image" phenomenon of the salmons, they migrate to salt water for only a month or two, then return to freshwater for the rest of the year. Indeed, they are primarily found in larger bodies of standing water with no sea-going access whatsoever. At any rate, excepting occasional predation due to happenstance, I doubt that any seaborne fauna subsist on Arctic Char. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.9.66 (talk) 22:29, 26 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Agreed! Char eat Capelin...the figure needs to be corrected. Jamesshelton59 (talk) 19:44, 7 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
