'''Arctic Char''' (''Salvelinus alpinus'') is a cold-water fish in the family [[Salmonidae]], native to alpine lakes and arctic and subarctic coastal waters. Its distribution is circumpolar. It spawns in fresh water and populations can be [[anadromous]], remaining in fresh water, or [[semianadromous]], migrating to the sea.

== Description ==
'''Antônio Austregésilo Rodrigues de Lima''' (21 April 1876 – 23 December 1960) was a prominent Brazilian neurologist and writer. He is considered one of the pioneers in the field of neurology in Brazil and made significant contributions to the understanding and treatment of neurological disorders.
The Arctic Char is closely related to both [[salmon]] and [[lake trout]], and has many characteristics of both. The fish is highly variable in colour, depending on the time of year and the environmental conditions of the lake where it lives. Its coloration can range from a bright silver to a dark green or even almost black. The belly can range from bright red to pink.


== Distribution and habitat ==
==Early life and education==
Arctic Char is found in the arctic circle, as well as in lakes and rivers in the northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. It is the northernmost freshwater fish, and it's habitat spans many different environments. It is known to thrive in cold, clean, deep lakes and rivers, and it can also be found in the ocean in the arctic regions.
Antônio Austregésilo was born in [[Recife]], [[Pernambuco]], Brazil. He pursued his medical education at the [[Federal University of Rio de Janeiro]], where he developed a keen interest in the study of the nervous system. After completing his medical degree, Austregésilo furthered his studies in Europe, where he trained under some of the leading neurologists of the time.


== Diet ==
==Career==
The diet of Arctic Char varies greatly depending on the size of the fish and the location. Small char feed on zooplankton and insect larvae, while larger char feed on a variety of food items, including fish, crustaceans, and insects.
Upon returning to Brazil, Austregésilo established himself as a leading figure in the field of neurology. He was instrumental in founding the first neurology clinic in Brazil, which provided specialized care for patients with neurological disorders. Austregésilo's work focused on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as [[epilepsy]], [[Parkinson's disease]], and [[multiple sclerosis]].


== Reproduction ==
Austregésilo was also a prolific writer, contributing numerous articles and books on neurology. His writings helped to disseminate knowledge about neurological diseases and their management, both within Brazil and internationally. He was a member of several prestigious medical societies and received numerous awards for his contributions to medicine.
Arctic Char are [[broadcast spawners]], meaning they release their eggs and sperm into the water column to fertilize. They spawn in the fall, and females will lay their eggs in nests that they create in the gravel on the lake or river bottom.


== Conservation ==
==Contributions to neurology==
Arctic Char populations are generally stable, but some local populations have been impacted by overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change. Conservation efforts are focused on maintaining healthy populations and habitats, and managing fishing to ensure it is sustainable.
Antônio Austregésilo is credited with advancing the understanding of various neurological conditions. He conducted extensive research on the pathophysiology of epilepsy and was one of the first to describe certain movement disorders. His work laid the foundation for future research in these areas and improved the clinical management of patients with neurological diseases.
