Summary
Northern pike, Esox lucius, are not native to aquatic habitats of southcentral Alaska south of the Alaska Range. Introduction of northern pike into these freshwater systems may have deleterious effects on native fish, including various species of Pacific salmon. This report summarizes the continued effort to restore salmonid habitat by removing invasive northern pike from four freshwater lakes on the Kenai Peninsula.
