Assessment of Nearshore Fish around Akutan Harbor Using Beach Seines During March and June 2000. by
We sampled nearshore fishes from Akutan Harbor at Akutan Island (eastern Aleutian chain, Alaska) during March and June 2000 using a beach seine. A total of 6,445 fish were caught, comprising at least 14 fish species (one helmet crab was the only invertebrate species caught) from a total of 27 sets....
