Abstract

A seasonal sampling of fishes was collected by seine from the sand-gravel areas of Clam Lagoon, Adak, Alaska. The community structure was compared to the structure of communities described from surveys of other areas. The seasonality of the fish fauna was examined for possible relationships with three exogenous factors; salinity, temperature and wind velocity. Length frequency histograms and substrate preferences are presented for seven species. The shallow-water seasonality of 13 species is presented. The ontogenetic and seasonal diets of seven species are discussed.
