Manitoba's ninety-three species of fish give the province the third
most diverse fish population in Canada. The provinces variety of
geological features, with its major lakes, rivers, tributaries, and
watersheds, is due in large part to its history as the basin for
Glacial Lake Agassiz. This, combined with its access to the waters
of Hudson Bay and large American river systems, has provided
habitat for a wide diversity of freshwater fish. Species from
lampreys to goldeye, catfish to perch, bigmouth bass to slimy
sculpin swim in waters from arctic rivers in the north to Red River
tributaries and down to the Mississippi in the south. Freshwater
Fishes of Manitoba is a comprehensive, user-friendly guide. Each
species is accurately depicted in detailed colour photographs and
accompanying map, with descriptions of physical characteristics,
spawning and feeding habits, distribution, habitat, ecological
role, and economic importance. The guide also includes an extensive
glossary, keys to identifying the families, species, and
subspecies, and information on documentation and preservation of
specimens. Freshwater Fishes of Manitoba is not only the definitive
guide to these fishes of Manitoba, it is also accessible and
reliable for a range of users from general fishers to professional
fish biologists.
