20210915 10420500 1.0 TRUE TRUE PikeWaters The northern pike is native to most of Alaska, but it does not naturally occur south and east of the Alaska Mountain Range except for a small, remnant population near Yakutat. Pike are top-level predators in aquatic food chains and are highly piscivorous (fish eating). Outside their native range, trout, salmon and other fish have not had time to adapt defenses against pike's predatory tactics. Pike prefer highly vegetated, shallow habitats where they can hide and ambush prey. Most Lakes and Rivers in Southcentral Alaska are vulnerable to pike invasion, especially if they are connected to waters that already have introduced pike populations. It is illegal to introduce pike or any other organism into waters of the state. If you catch a pike in Southcentral Alaska in a water body not displayed here, please call 1-877-INVASIV and report it.” Alaska Pike Invasive Salmon Fish ADFG A catalog of lakes and streams in south central Alaska that have known or unconfirmed populations of invasive Northern Pike.
