Organisms studied
Methods:

Grayling adults and juveniles are captured as they enter the headwater lake. Some fish, including a few lake trout, are captured in the lake. Fish are measured, weighed, tagged and released. Some fish are kept to do lipid extractions on, to determine the condition of the fish as they begin the winter. All lengths are total length in cm, using the bottom lobe of the caudal fin. Fish weights are wet weight in grams, taken immediately after the fish are captured.

Notes: Lake trout are designated by tag color ending in LT and in the comments. All the rest of the fish are grayling.

Calculations: none in this file
