الوصف: Anadromous migration of salmonid fish has been extensively studied, primarily focusing on the dichotomous framework of anadromy and residency. However, there remains a limited understanding of intermediate migratory behaviors within the anadromous framework. Our study aimed to classify the lifetime migration patterns of the anadromous white-spotted charr Salvelinus leucomaenis within and among populations using otolith annuli and Sr:Ca ratios. Initially, the migratory histories of anadromous charr were divided into two stages: “virgin sea-run stage” and “veteran sea-run stage”. The former was further categorized into three types: ocean entry at age ≥1+ years old, early descending, and brackish use. The latter was grouped into four types: annual migrants, frequent migrants, retired migrants, and ocean residents. We found that the proportion of migration patterns varied among rivers, with multiple patterns coexisting within the same river. Migration patterns typically involving 1–5 years spent in freshwater rivers followed by annual oceanic migrations were the most abundant, although diverse patterns were also observed. In the virgin sea-run stage, some individuals experienced the ocean at age 0+ years or brackish environments before their first sea entry. In the veteran sea-run stage, we found individuals who had resided in either the ocean or rivers for over a year. Retired migrants, characterized by stopping oceanic migration at a certain age and subsequently spending time in rivers, were exclusive to southern rivers. Conversely, ocean residents who spend one or more years in the ocean were more frequent in northern regions. Consequently, the lifetime migration patterns of anadromous white-spotted charr may exhibit stronger ocean dependency at higher latitudes. The implications of this study highlight the complexity and flexibility of migratory behaviors within and among white-spotted charr populations.
