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 1997. Estimated mean CPUE per 48-hour set of fully (450 millimeters total length and longer) and partially (300 to 449 millimeters total length) recruited burbot in Fielding Lake was 0.67 (SE = 0.08) and 0.36 (SE = 0.06), respectively. Estimated abundance of fully recruited burbot in 1996 was 402 (SE = 59), and estimated density of fully recruited burbot was 0.75 (SE = 0.11) fish per hectare. An estimated 42% (SE 7.2) fully recruited burbot survived from 1995 to 1996.
