similar to that found by Liknes (1981) where K ranged from 0.90 

 to 0.97 for adult Arctic grayling. Most of the YOY captured over 

 the summer appeared to be in very good condition. The higher 

 discharges and cooler water temperatures prevalent over much of 

 the study area in 1990 may explain the good condition of the YOY. 



Stomach Contents Analysis 



At various sites and on various sampling dates (Table 4) , 

 stomach contents were collected from 177 brook trout, 5 rainbow 

 trout, and 15 burbot. Numbers, species, dates, and locations of 

 fish sampled are shown in Table 4.
