Abstract: Pacific sand lance is important in the diet of birds, fish, and sea mammals. Little is known about this species in Alaska. Much of the information is found in agency reports and gray literature, which are usually not attainable by library electronic searching methods. This project will review all studies of Pacific sand lance in Alaska and recommend further research. Studies done outside of Alaska will be integrated where local knowledge is lacking. The bibliography will cover all published and unpublished references on the genus Ammodytes. Key words and a summary of information will be provided for each reference. All references will be incorporated into a taxonomic, geographic, and subject index.
