The National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Program has undertaken a nationwide inventory of natural resources. As part of this effort, freshwater fish inventories were conducted within Southwest Alaska Network (SWAN) for the Alagnak Wild River (ALAG), Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve (ANIA), Katmai National Park and Preserve (KATM), and Kenai Fjords National Park (KEFJ). A previous fisheries inventory of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve (LACL) matching the scope of current I&M program objectives was conducted by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) in 1980 (Russell et al. 1980). Thirty three species of freshwater fish were identified as potentially occurring within the entire SWAN network (AKNHP 2000). The SWAN freshwater fish inventory project documented 28 of the 33 freshwater species (84.8% of all freshwater species) predicted to occur within park boundaries (AKNHP 2000). For individual SWAN parks, this inventory verified 66.7% of expected species within ALAG (16 of 24), 56.3% within ANIA (9 of 16), 96.0% within KATM (24 of 25), 81.3% (13 of 16) within KEFJ, and 96.2% (25 of 26) within LACL.
