Book Description
Manitoba's ninety-three species of fish give the province the third most diverse fish population in Canada. The provinceís 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.

Book Description
This guide arranges information on trematode parasites of Canadian fishes by subclass (Aspidogastrea and Digenea), order, superfamily, family, subfamily, and genera. No descriptions are included for individual species because of the large number of taxa involved, but illustrations of members of each genus are provided. Data supplied in the guide include scientific name, synonyms, the position or organ in the fish where the parasite has been reported, hosts, distribution in Canadian waters, authors responsible for the published records of a particular parasite, and comments on the systematics, nomenclature, records, or other aspects of the biology of the parasite. Diagnoses are presented for all taxa down to generic level, and keys are included down to the species level.
