INDEX 
Sulukpaugaq
means Arctic grayling in Inuktitut.
Arctic graylings are one of the most strikingly beautiful of all Arctic animals:
the only problem is you have to catch one to see how beautiful it is. They
have a wing-like dorsal fin that is speckled with red or purple spots, a purplish
blue-black back, a side of iridescent silver and pectoral fins with streaks
of red or orange. Jewels of the Arctic's clear fresh water, they are especially
prized by fly fishermen since they mainly feed on insects, often leap into
the air when caught and, despite their relatively small size, put up a feisty
fight.
