Fish Species Occurrence on Four Rivers and Three Ponds of Hagemeister Island, Alaska, 2003. Alaska Fisheries Data Series Number 2005-9

摘要

The resident fish species assemblages were inventoried in four rivers and three ponds on Hagemeister Island in 2003. This was the first effort to inventory resident fish species on this island, which is the largest in Bristol Bay and is separated from the mainland by -6 km at the nearest point. Fish were collected using dipnet, minnow trap, and seine. Fish were identified to species and released alive or retained as voucher specimens and genetic samples. Species identified were coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch, slimy sculpin Cottus cognatus, Alaska blackfish Dallia pectoralis, rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax, ninespine stickleback Pungitius pungitius, and Dolly Varden Salvelinus malma.
