TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied

Methods:	The fish were captured from lake Toolik using five-panel experimental gill nets (panel sizes of 19mm, 38mm, 64mm, 89mm, and 114mm). The date, fish number, sex, and species were recorded as well as the total length, fork length, standard length, and weight. Whether or not the stomach, pectoral fin, and otolith were taken was also recorded. Notes: This file is exclusively dedicated to the 1986 replication of the previous (1978?) Fish and Game gill net survey. Other fish were captured using gill nets in Toolik in 1986, but those fish are in the 89MCLICK.WK1 file for reasons of clarity. Sampling Description. None
