ABSTRACT 

Distribution and habitat use are presented on the 50 most abundant fish species captured 

in shallow nearshore waters (< 20 m offshore and < 5 m deep relative to mean lower low water 

(MLLW) of southeastern Alaska. Fish were captured with a beach seine at 41 locations from 

1998 to 2004. At each location, habitats sampled included sand or gravel beaches with no 

attached vegetation, cobble beaches with understory kelps (e.g., Laminaria saccharina), soft 

bottom (sand, silt, or mud) beaches with eelgrass (Zostera marina), and steep bedrock outcrops. 

A total of 538 seine hauls yielded 448,166 fish. Based on total catch, the three most abundant 

species were walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes 

hexapterus), and Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii). Mean catch per seine haul was greatest in 

eelgrass for 30 of the 50 most abundant species. Juveniles dominated the catch of all species 

captured. For example, mean size of walleye pollock, Pacific sand lance, and Pacific herring was 

less than 100 mm fork length. Distribution patterns were evident for many fish species; some are 

widely distributed throughout southeastern Alaska (crescent gunnel, Pholis laeta), whereas others 

are confined to southern waters (kelp perch, Brachyistius frenatus) or more outside coastal 

waters (black rockfish, Sebastes melanops). Shallow nearshore waters support a diverse and 

abundant community of fishes, many of commercial importance. Information on distribution and 

habitat of nearshore fish assemblages will help resource managers identify and protect coastal 

areas at risk to human disturbance.

INTRODUCTION 

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1996 requires the 

identification of essential fish habitat (EFH) for species included in federal fishery management 

plans (FMPs) (Minello 1999). Identifying EFH requires basic information on fish distribution 

and habitat use. In southeastern Alaska, some information exists upon which to infer general 

distribution for species included in the Gulf of Alaska FMP (North Pacific Fishery Management 

Council 2002). For many FMP species in Alaska, however, such information is limited, 

especially for early life stages. In particular, resource managers need information on fish use of 

shallow nearshore (< 20 m offshore and < 5 m deep) habitats to protect areas critical to fisheries. 

Southeastern Alaska has about 33,600 km of tidal shoreline (Department of Interior 1994) 

and a wide diversity of estuarine and marine habitats including fiords, bays, channels, and straits. 

Nearshore areas of intertidal and subtidal vegetation are considered habitat areas of particular 

concern because of their high value as fish habitat and vulnerability to human disturbance (North 

Pacific Fishery Management Council 2002). Two types of submerged vegetation, eelgrass 

(Zostera marina) and kelps (e.g., Laminaria saccharina) are widely distributed in lower 

intertidal and shallow subtidal areas along the coast of Alaska (McRoy 1968, Phillips and 

Watson 1984, O’Clair and Lindstrom 2000, Wyllie-Echeverria and Ackerman 2003). Other 

common habitat types in Alaska include non-vegetated substrates of sand or gravel and steep 

bedrock outcrops. Little information is available on fish use of these habitat types. 

Nearshore habitats with and without submerged vegetation provide food resources, cover, 

and nursery habitat for many marine species important in sport and commercial fisheries 

(Gotceitas et al. 1997, Norcross et al. 1999, Dean et al. 2000, Spalding et al. 2003). Of the few 
2 

studies done in Alaska, important commercial species found in eelgrass or kelp have included 

Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii), juvenile Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus), juvenile rockfish 

(Sebastes spp.), and juvenile salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) (Laur and Haldorson 1996, Dean et al. 

2000, Murphy et al. 2000, Byerly 2001, Johnson et al. 2003). 

This atlas describes the distribution and habitat use of the 50 most abundant fishes captured 

in shallow nearshore waters of southeastern Alaska from 1998 to 2004. Fish were sampled with a 

beach seine at 41 locations; a variety of habitat types (e.g., kelp, eelgrass) were sampled at each 

location. Many of the species captured are included in an FMP for Alaska, whereas others are 

important from an ecosystem perspective (e.g., food source for marine mammals, sea birds, and 

other fishes). Information on distribution and habitat of nearshore fish assemblages will help 

resource managers identify important fisheries habitat and protect it from human disturbance. 

MATERIALS AND METHODS 

Although catch data were compiled from a suite of studies with different objectives in 

southeastern Alaska (Murphy et al. 2000, Johnson et al. 2003, Harris et al. In prep., Johnson and 

Thedinga In prep., Thedinga et al. In prep.), methods of fish capture were similar. Fish 

assemblages were sampled at 41 general locations from 1998 to 2004 (Fig. 1). At each location, 

between 1 and 22 sites were sampled with a beach seine and at least one seine haul was made at 

each site (Table 1); a total of 279 unique sites were sampled. Sites were selected based on habitat 

type determined by visual observation of the dominant substrate present and the presence or 

| absence of attached vegetation. Sites also had to be approachable by skiff and free of obstructions 
3


(e.g., large boulders). At some locations (e.g., Benjamin Island, Eagle Beach, Ushk Bay, The 

Brothers Islands, and Klawock Inlet), the same sites were sampled more than once in the same 

year or in different years (Table 1). All sampling occurred within 2 hours of low tide (range +1.0 

to !1.5 m below mean lower low water, MLLW). A complete description of the beach seine and 

the methods of setting it are provided in Johnson et al. (2003). A geographic position was 

obtained in the middle of each seine site with a hand-held global positioning system (GPS). Most 

(> 62%) sampling effort was in June, July, and August (Fig. 2). 

Habitats sampled included sand or gravel beaches with no attached vegetation (bare), cobble 

beaches with understory kelps, soft bottoms with eelgrass, and steep bedrock outcrops (Table 1). 

Sand or gravel beaches with no attached vegetation were generally “pocket beaches” found inside 

protected bays. Most kelp sites were more oceanic and located in exposed locations at the mouths 

of bays. Understory kelp occupies subtidal areas to depths of about !30 m. Understory kelps 

often grow as dense, low-lying mats on rocky substrates. Kelp habitats sampled were dominated 

by L. saccharina, a brown kelp that has a smooth blade up to 3.5 m long and 18 cm wide 

(O’Clair and Lindstrom 2000). Other kelps commonly found with L. saccharina were Cymathere 

triplicata and two or more species of Alaria. Most eelgrass sites were located inside protected 

bays and inlets with freshwater influence. Relative to MLLW, eelgrass occupies areas of the 

lower intertidal and subtidal zones from +1 m to !6 m. Eelgrass usually grows in soft substrates 

of sand, silt, or mud. Bedrock outcrops were usually steep and located in exposed locations on 

the outside of bays; Laminaria and Alaria were usually attached to bedrock faces. Of the 279 

unique sites sampled, 35 were bare, 67 were kelp, 92 were eelgrass, and 85 were bedrock 

(Table 1).

Captured fish were identified to species and enumerated. The number of fish in large catches 

was estimated gravimetrically. To achieve this, a presumably random subsample of 

approximately 500 fish was removed from the total catch and the remainder of fish were 

collectively weighed to the nearest 0.1 kg. Fish in the subsample were weighed to the nearest 

gram and counted by species. A mean weight of fish determined from the subsample was used to 

estimate the number of fish in the total catch. The proportion of each species in the subsample 

was also used to determine the species composition of the total catch. Fork length (FL) was 

measured to the nearest millimeter for up to 50 individuals of most species. Fish were 

anesthetized in a mixture of 1 part carbonated water to 2 parts seawater for identification and 

measurement. 

DATA ANALYSIS 

A distribution map is presented for each of the 50 most abundant species captured. On each 

map, a summary is included on total catch, overall occurrence (number of seine hauls each 

species was captured divided by the total number of seine hauls (all years, n = 538), mean fork 

length ± 1 standard deviation and the total number measured, life stage (i.e., juveniles, adults), 

and whether the species is included in an FMP. Additionally, a graph is presented on each map 

displaying mean catch per seine haul and percent occurrence by habitat type. Catch data was 

standardized to mean catch per seine haul by dividing the total catch of each species in each 

habitat type by the respective number of seine hauls in each habitat type–scale on the ordinate 

varies depending on catch totals. Percent occurrence by habitat type was determined by dividing 
5


the number of seine hauls in each habitat type that each species was captured by the total number 

of seine hauls (all habitat types) in which that species was captured. 

RESULTS 

Total Catch 

A total of 538 seine hauls yielded 448,164 fish (Table 1) comprising 79 species. The 50 

most abundant species captured are listed in Table 2; these 50 species comprised 99% of the total 

catch. Twenty-one of the 50 most abundant species are included in an FMP for Alaska (Table 2). 

Most Abundant Species 

Based on total catch, the 10 most abundant species were walleye pollock (Theragra 

chalcogramma), Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes hexapterus), Pacific herring, chum salmon (O. 

keta), pink salmon (O. gorbuscha), shiner perch (Cymatogaster aggregata), Pacific sandfish 

(Trichodon trichodon), threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus), crescent gunnel (Pholis 

laeta), and Pacific cod. Of the 10 most abundant species, some were captured infrequently but 

often in large numbers (e.g., walleye pollock; 14% of all seine hauls, 122,792 total fish), whereas 

others were captured frequently but usually in small numbers (e.g., crescent gunnel; 61% of all 

seine hauls, 6,975 total fish). 
6 

Habitat Use 

Of the 50 most abundant species, mean catch per seine haul was greatest in eelgrass sites for 

30 species, at bare sites for 9 species, at kelp sites for 7 species, and at bedrock sites for 4 species 

(Fig. 3). Most species were captured in more than one habitat type. For example, of the 143 seine 

hauls where pink salmon were captured, 38% were in eelgrass, 22% in bedrock, 21% in kelp, and 

19% at sites with no vegetation. Total catch by habitat type for the 50 most abundant species was 

176,336 fish in eelgrass, 127,007 fish in kelp, 118,114 fish in bedrock outcrops, and 22,622 fish 

at sites with no vegetation. Some of the most abundant species in eelgrass were Pacific sand 

lance and chum salmon, whereas some of the most abundant species at sites with no vegetation 

or with kelp or bedrock were walleye pollock and Pacific herring. 

Life Stage 

Juveniles dominated the catch of all species captured. For example, mean size of walleye 

pollock, Pacific herring, Pacific sand lance, Pacific cod, Pacific sandfish, chum salmon, pink 

salmon, and coho salmon (O. kisutch) was less than 100 mm FL. Species for which both 

juveniles and adults were captured included shiner perch, crescent gunnel, and snake prickleback 

(Lumpenus sagitta). The largest (mean FL > 200 mm) species captured were Pacific staghorn 

sculpin (Leptocottus armatus), whitespotted greenling (Hexagrammos stelleri), starry flounder 

(Platichthys stellatus), painted greenling (Oxylebius pictus), and cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus 

clarkii). 
7 

Distribution 

Distribution patterns were evident for many fish species. The two most ubiquitous species 

were crescent gunnel and northern sculpin (Icelinus borealis); each of these species was captured 

at 38 of 41 locations. The least abundant (50th rank) species captured was the tadpole sculpin 

(Psychrolutes paradoxus) occurring at only 2 of 41 locations. Species captured predominately in 

northern southeastern Alaska were yellowfin sole (Limanda aspera) and capelin (Mallotus 

villosus), whereas species captured predominately in southern southeastern Alaska were kelp 

perch (Brachyistius frenatus) and brown rockfish (S. auriculatus). Similarly, most rockfish 

(Sebastes spp.) were captured in more exposed outside waters, and armorhead sculpin 

(Gymnocanthus galeatus) in more sheltered inside waters. 

On the following pages, a distribution map is presented for each of the 50 most abundant 

species captured in decreasing order of abundance based on total catch. An example 

interpretation for a distribution map is as follows for walleye pollock: pollock were captured at 

17 of 41 locations (blue squares); a total of 122,792 pollock were captured in 14.1% of all seine 

hauls; 1,769 fish were measured at a mean size of 55.2 mm FL; exclusively juveniles were 

captured; and walleye pollock are included in an FMP for Alaska. The graph shows that mean 

catch per seine haul for pollock was greatest in kelp at about 600 fish, and of the 76 seine hauls 

where pollock were captured, 47% were in kelp. Habitat types, geographic locations, dates 

sampled, number of seine hauls, and total catch by location are listed in Table 1.

DISCUSSION 

Seventy-nine fish species, many of commercial importance, use shallow nearshore 

habitats in southeastern Alaska. Commercially important species that we captured included 

walleye pollock, Pacific herring, chum salmon, and pink salmon. Most of these are target species 

in either a groundfish or salmon FMP in Alaska (North Pacific Fishery Management Council 

1998, 2002). Because we captured mostly juveniles, it appears that nearshore habitats may be 

particularly important nursery and rearing areas for many species. Abundant non-commercial 

species in nearshore habitats included Pacific sand lance and Pacific sandfish; these species are 

important prey for sea birds, marine mammals, and other fishes (Paul et al. 1997, Robards et al. 

1999). Similar fish assemblages in the habitat types that we sampled have been observed in other 

areas of Alaska (Bailey et al. 1983, Orsi and Landingham 1985, Laur and Haldorson 1996, Dean 

et al. 2000).

 For 30 of the 50 most abundant species, eelgrass was utilized more than any other habitat 

type based on catch. Eelgrass offers a complex three-dimensional environment that provides food 

and shelter for fish that is otherwise lacking on bare or sparsely covered bottoms (Heck and Orth 

1980; Spalding et al. 2003). Higher abundance of fish in eelgrass than in other habitat types has 

been reported in many areas (Briggs and O’Connor 1971, Orth and Heck 1980, Orth et al. 1984, 

Lubbers et al. 1990, Sogard and Able 1991, Connolly 1994, Lazzari and Tupper 2002, Wyda et 

al. 2002). Some species, however, exhibited a preference for habitats other than eelgrass. For 

example, most flatfish were captured on bare substrates, walleye pollock in rocky areas with 

kelp, and Pacific sandfish near bedrock outcrops. Thus, shallow nearshore waters provide a 
59


mosaic of habitat types, all of which are used by several species with different feeding and 

substrate preferences. 

Differences in water temperature, salinity, proximity to spawning areas, and time of 

sampling likely account for some of the distribution and abundance patterns that we observed 

among species. Marine waters of southeastern Alaska are characterized by an inshore-offshore 

salinity gradient (Murphy and Orsi 1999) and a north-south temperature gradient (Quast 1968). 

Inside waters are more estuarine, more protected from wave action, and have more extreme 

seasonal temperature and salinity changes than outside waters (Csepp and Wing 1999). Thus, 

environmental differences likely limit the distribution of some species such as rockfish (Sebastes 

spp.) to mostly outside waters and armorhead sculpin to inside waters. Similarly, the range of 

blackeye goby (Rhinogobiops nicholsii) and kelp perch are limited to mostly outside waters of 

southeastern Alaska (Csepp and Wing 1999). On a smaller scale, differences in distribution and 

abundance of nearshore fish between inner and outer Kachemak Bay, Alaska, corresponded to 

differences in temperature and salinity (Abookire et al. 2000). As for time of sampling, juvenile 

chum and pink salmon were not captured at Neka Bay, Port Althorp, and Yakobi Island in July 

1999 (Fig. 1, Table 1); chum and pink salmon fry live in the nearshore region of southeastern 

Alaska from about 1 April to 15 June (Orsi and Landingham 1985). 

Most of the habitat types that we examined are common and are distributed throughout 

the rugged and complex coast of southeastern Alaska. Although eelgrass is distributed 

throughout southeastern Alaska, it is often absent or sparse in bays and inlets on or near the 

mainland. This is likely due to increased turbidity from glacial runoff from mainland rivers that 

inhibits eelgrass growth (McRoy 1968). 
60


Distribution maps provided in this atlas identify fish species that may be encountered in 

potential shoreline development projects in southeastern Alaska. Additionally, geographic 

coordinates of all sampling sites identify the locations of sensitive habitat types (e.g., eelgrass 

meadows) that may need protection as EFH. Further studies are needed to identify the spatial 

coverage of eelgrass and other important habitat types in Alaska and the function of these 

habitats as EFH. Shallow nearshore waters support a diverse and abundant community of fishes, 

many of commercial importance, and should be protected from human disturbance.
