Canadian Atlantic fishes are amazingly diverse, despite the cold waters in which they live. This web site provides a distribution map for each fish species living in Canadian Atlantic waters, based upon specimens preserved at the Atlantic Reference Centre of the Huntsman Marine Science Centre (see link). To search for a particular fish, use the search or classification functions. Common or Latin (scientific) names can be used in a search. Many species in this atlas are linked to"Fishes of Atlantic Canada: A Photographic Compendium" (http://collections.ic.gc.ca/compendium), containing photographs or drawings and biological and ecological information.
Please feel free to browse through this site. If reproducing any maps from this site, please cite the source.
