Pronunciation of "eulachon"

[James Crippen]

This is only tangentially related to Chinook Jargon, but I think it's
the best place to ask this question. I'm interested in the  "eulachon"
fish (Thaleichthys pacificus, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eulachon),
also occasionally known as the "candlefish". It's the little
herring-like smelt fish that has cream-colored flesh and is extremely
oily. It is traditionally processed for its oil which was used in
trade along "grease trails" up and down the coast. I believe the name
comes from CJ. But the name for this fish, has a few different
regional pronunciations in English in the PacNW. In Alaska where I
grew up it was pronounced "hooligan", as with the British soccer fans.
I'm curious about its pronunciation elsewhere along the coast, and the
different ways people write it.

Hayu masi,
