Description

Indices of abundance were estimated for populations of burbot Lota lota in Fielding and George lakes in the Tanana River drainage. Burbot were captured in baited hoop traps. Traps were set in a systematic pattern across each lake. Sampling occurred during May and June of 1995. Estimated mean CPUE per 48-hour set of fully (450 millimeters total length and longer) and partially (300 to 449 millimeters total length) recruited burbot in Fielding Lake was 0.54 (SE = 0.07) and 0.61 (SE = 0.08), respectively. Mean CPUE of fully and partially recruited burbot in George Lake was 0.72 (SE = 0.07) and 0.06 (SE = 0.02), respectively. Abundance of fully recruited burbot estimated with multiple year mark-recapture experiments was 479 (SE = 92) in Fielding Lake in 1994. Fully recruited burbot surviving in Fielding Lake from 1993 to 1994 was estimated at 79.7% (SE = 16.1).
