英文摘要 | Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) is a salmonid fish that is the second-most consumed country food species by Nunavimmiut. Its nutritional quality is determined by omega-3 fatty acids and carotenoid pigments. Those molecules cannot be synthetized by fish and must be acquired through diet. We sampled Arctic char in 10 rivers from the three marine coastal regions of Nunavik (Hudson Bay, Hudson Strait, and Ungava Bay), described diet (stable isotopes delta C-13 and delta N-15) and flesh quality (fatty acids and carotenoids, measured by chromatography) and assessed associations between both diet and flesh quality (including also bio-impedance and colorimetry). Our results suggested inter-regional differences in the diet and nutritional quality of Arctic char in Nunavik, where delta C-13 values indicated that the diet of Arctic char in Hudson Bay was more pelagic, while in Ungava Bay it was more coastal. We also observed inter-regional differences in omega-3 fatty acids and astaxanthin, the pigment responsible for the redness of the flesh color, where concentrations were highest in Ungava Bay Arctic char. In all sampling locations, Arctic char were an exceptional source of omega-3 fatty acids and astaxanthin, confirming its importance as a high-quality wild food. Our models suggest that astaxanthin, canthaxanthin, and water content influence flesh redness. Our data highlight inter-regional differences that could be taken in consideration to better predict the impact of climate change on fish quality and, ultimately, on Inuit diet and health. |
