Abundance and indices of abundance were estimated for populations of burbot Lota lota in Lake Louise and Tolsona Lake in Southcentral Alaska. Sampling occurred during June 1994. Bootstrapped mean catch per unit of effort of fully recruited burbot (450 mm total length and larger) per 48-hour set was 0.37 (SE = 0.03) in Lake Louise and 3.50 (SE = 0.41) in Tolsona Lake. Abundance during 1993 of fully recruited burbot estimated with mark-recapture experiments was 4,188 (SE = 681) in Lake Louise and 998 (SE = 303) in Tolsona Lake. During 1992-1993, annual survival rate for fully recruited burbot in Lake Louise was an estimated 74.5%.
