Description: Abundance and an index of abundance were estimated for a population of burbot Lota lota in Fielding Lake. Burbot were captured in baited hoop traps set in a systematic pattern across Fielding Lake. Sampling occurred during June of 1998. Estimated mean CPUE per 48-hour set of fully (450 mm TL and longer) and partially (300 to 449 mm TL) recruited burbot in Fielding Lake was 0.84 (SE = 0.11) and 0.42 (SE = 0.07), respectively. In 1997, estimated abundance of fully recruited burbot was 420 (SE = 58). An estimated density of fully recruited burbot was 0.78 (SE = 0.11) fish per hectare. An estimated 57.3% (SE = 7.8) fully recruited burbot survived from 1996 to 1997.
