The effect of predation by river otters (Lutra canadensis) on juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) in a Southeast Alaska watershed was inferred by examining the number and size distribution of sagittal otoliths that were found in otter scats. Individual scats contained up to 408 otoliths, indicating that at least 200 fish had been eaten between defecations. Otoliths from juvenile salmonids outnumbered those from coastrange sculpins (Cottus aleuticus) by about six to one. Based on examination of over 8000 otoliths found in otter scats, at least 3300 juvenile salmonids were eaten by two river otters and their two young in the Kadashan River system during a 6-wk period in late spring 1985.
