Field notes

An Atlantic salmon that never goes to sea.

Most Atlantic salmon live in two worlds: born in a river, grown at sea, home again to spawn. In a handful of northern lakes, some simply stayed. Generation after generation they've lived their whole lives in fresh water.

New York's 1896 report printed Sherman Denton's female and male under a name that says where they came from: "Land Locked Salmon or Ouananiche." Ouananiche is the Canadian name for the salmon of Lac Saint-Jean in Quebec; in Maine they were Sebago salmon, after the lake with the most celebrated population.

Their world depends on a smaller fish. In Maine's lakes landlocked salmon feed mostly on rainbow smelt, and when the smelt are thin the salmon are too, so biologists who manage salmon spend much of their time managing smelt. Maine made it the state fish in 1969.
