Tyler Akeeagok pulled an unusual fish from his net a few kilometres east of Kugluktuk on July 17.

He thinks itSA国际影视传媒檚 a mix of Arctic char and lake trout.

SA国际影视传媒淚t had features of a lake trout within the body but when you look at the head it had features of Arctic char. It had a hint of green so you could tell it was hybrid,SA国际影视传媒� Akeeagok said, adding that heSA国际影视传媒檚 never seen anything like it in close to 15 years of fishing and he was initially unsure of the species. SA国际影视传媒淚 was very confused. Me and my girlfriend were deciding if it was a lake trout or if it was a char. We couldnSA国际影视传媒檛 make it out until we got home and talked to my dadSA国际影视传媒� It was quite the find.SA国际影视传媒�

The gutted fish weighs about 15 pounds. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 currently in the Kugluktuk Hunters and Trappers OrganizationSA国际影视传媒檚 freezer. There happens to be some researchers from the University of Waterloo and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in the community for a char tagging program, said Amanda Dumond, manager of the Kugluktuk HTO. She said the researchers will take a look at AkeeagokSA国际影视传媒檚 fish to see if they can determine whether itSA国际影视传媒檚 the spawn of a char and a trout.

Dumond said sheSA国际影视传媒檚 never heard of anything like it before.
