The Arctic Grayling
Thymallus arcticus
Culugpauq
The Arctic grayling is a game fish that is mostly
found in Alaska. It is a cold water fish that is unable to exist
except in the northern latitudes of North America and Eurasia. The
Arctic grayling is only fully mature after its sixth year, and they
normally grow between 12 to 20 inches. The largest one every caught
was 27 inches long. The average grayling can live nine years, but the
oldest living grayling they know of lived for 11 years.
Grayling are elegantly formed and more graceful
than trout. They have a large dorsal fin, their abdomen is
bluish-white and the pectoral fins are olive brown with a bluish tint
at the ends. Arctic grayling also have a small mouth and an elongated
trout-like appearance.
Grayling spawn in fresh water streams in April or
May and do not have nests for their eggs. Their eggs are much smaller
than those of a trout and are adhesive which means they can stick to
the river gravel. The female grayling, which can range in length from
11 to 13 inches long, will produce an average of 4,700 eggs per fish.
These eggs will hatch within 23 days at a water temperature of 45
degrees.
These fish are heavily distributed in all clear
water drainages north of the Brooks Range, along the western Arctic
slope, throughout all interior Alaska drainages, and as far south as
the drainages of Cook Inlet. They are found all over Alaska except on
the Seward Peninsula, the Aleutian Chain, Nunivak Island and St.
Lawrence Island.
The food that these fish eat consists largely of
insects such as the larvae of stone-flies, diptera, caddis-f lies and
terrestrial species like mosquitoes which accidentally fall in the
water. They also feed on the newly hatched fry of other fish and even
on shrews.
