The Dwarf Arctic Char, Salvelinus alpinus taranetzi, and the Taranets char, also Salvelinus alpinus taranetzi are one of three widely recognized subspecies of the Arctic char, Salvelinus alpinus that are found in North America. Although similar taxons of Arctic char occur in Eurasia, authorities do not agree whether these fish should be classified as Salvelinus alpinus taranetzi, or whether they should be classified as separate and new subspecies or other species. The issue of these classifications will surely not be resolved soon. However, Salvelinus alpinus taranetzi remains to be a valid species.
