Abstract:Objective
Within areas of Alaska, Humpback Whitefish Coregonus pidschian are an important subsistence resource for many Alaska Native communities. Recently, Humpback Whitefish in the upper Tanana River drainage were reported to be smaller at a given age and reach smaller maximum sizes than fish sampled 20 years ago. The objective of this study was to identify the factors that influence annual growth of Humpback Whitefish within the upper Tanana River drainage based on an analysis of otolith increments.
