Abundance and index of abundance were estimated for a population of burbot Lota lota in Fielding Lake. Burbot were captured in baited hoop traps. Traps were set in a systematic pattern across Fielding Lake. Sampling occurred during June of 1994. 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 0.52 (SE = 0.08) and 0.54 (SE = 0.07), respectively. Abundance of fully recruited burbot estimated with multiple year mark-recapture experiments was 302 (SE = 59) in Fielding Lake in 1993. Fully recruited burbot surviving from 1992 to 1993 was estimated at 65.9% (SE = 12.5).
