For instance, most or all Dolly Varden ( I Salvelinus malma i ) and Arctic grayling ( I Thymallus arcticus i ) overwintering sites in Alaska's Canning River (Figure 1) are associated with perennial springs (Brown et al., [3]). We are not aware of any previously published description of a mass mortality event among overwintering fish at an Arctic perennial spring, although such occurrences are known among the Iñupiat of the region, including at this particular site (North Slope Subsistence Regional Advisory Council Transcript, [18]). We counted 56 overflow fish, of which we were able to obtain fork lengths for 27 (median fork length: 27 cm, range: 15-35 cm; Glass et al., [13]), and >20 pool fish, although pool fish were frozen deeper in the ice precluding an accurate count.
