Growth and fecundity of burbot, Lota lota L., in two Alberta lakes

• Masters thesis. Examines the timing of body growth and the relationship between fecundity and body size in burbot (Lota lota) from a shallow, eutrophic lake (Lac Ste. Anne) and from a deep, meso/oligotrophic lake (Cold Lake). Results indicate that Lac Ste. Anne may be a less desirable, more stressful habitat for burbot.
