Abstract:	This file contains the fish number, recap number, species, lengths, and weights of fish captured in lakes near the Toolik Lake LTER site during the summer of 1995 (tagging data). Also contains information from gill-netted fish (if any), sacrificed fish, and accidentally killed fish. All dead fish are included, and if their stomachs and otoliths were taken, that is noted also.

TAXONOMIC COVERAGE:
Organisms studied

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).
