520	|aThe distribution and abundance of eulachons within British Columbia has not been described previously. This paper uses the distribution of larval eulachons in an attempt to identify eulachon-bearing rivers, streams and estuaries in the central coast of British Columbia. The larval distribution data are then considered in relation to the available river-specific catch data and biomass estimates, although very few data are available. The paper concludes that estuaries are particularly important for eulachons. It is suggested that estuaries, and estuarine circulation are probably the main factor determining and maintaining eulachon 'stock' structure and that the estuarine habitat for larval fish may require special attention and protection - both for the future welfare of eulachons and for the maintenance of ecosystems and biodiversity as part of the implementation of marine protected areas.
