FIGURE II-iv. Summary of the general status of freshwater fishes in Canada. The
geographic distribution of our 230 extant species is highly skewed; from a peak in species
richness in Ontario (155 species) and, to a lesser degree, Quebec (114), richness declines
towards the east, west, and north. Note that the fish fauna of many provinces include
relatively large numbers of Exotic species.
