TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied	Thymallus arcticus; Salvelinus namaycush; Salvelinus Alpinus; Cottus cognatus; Prosopium cylindraceum; Lota lota
Methods:	The various species of fish were removed from the lakes using conventional hook and line techniques. After the fish were tagged, the species, lengths, and weights of each fish were recorded. If gillnets were used, the nets were of the "experimental" type and typically set perpendicular from shore (see 89mcne12.doc). (10) NOTES AND COMMENTS GR = Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) LT = Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) Char = Arctic Char (Salvelinus Alpinus) SS = Slimy Sculpin (Cottus cognatus) RW = Round White fish (Prosopium cylindraceum) BB = Burbot (Lota lota)
