Download or read book Pacific Fishes of Canada written by John Lawson Hart and published by Canadian Government Publishing. This book was released on 1973 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes the fishes found in salt water off the Canadian coast, providing descriptions of 325 kinds of fishes, 54 of which are new. The arrangement of species follows that proposed by Greenwood et al. (1966) as interpreted by Bailey et al. (1970). Common names recommended by the latter authors were used when available, otherwise names were based on describers' recommendations or informal usage. Each species account is headed by a common name, followed by the scientific name and comments on the derivations of names and their previous use. Other information given includes a description of shape, fins, skin, colour, largest size recorded, features used for recognition, and distribution.

Book excerpt: Pacific salmon are an important biological and economic resource of countries of the North Pacific rim. They are also a unique group of fish possessing unusually complex life histories. There are seven species of Pacific salmon, five occurring on both the North American and Asian continents (sockeye, pink, chum, chinook, and coho) and two (masu and amago) only in Asia. The life cycle of the Pacific salmon begins in the autumn when the adult female deposits eggs that are fertilized in gravel beds in rivers or lakes. The young emerge from the gravel the following spring and will either migrate immediately to salt water or spend one or more years in a river or lake before migrating. Migrations in the ocean are extensive during the feeding and growing phase, covering thousands of kilometres. After one or more years the maturing adults find their way back to their home river, returning to their ancestral breeding grounds to spawn. They die after spawning and the eggs in the gravel signify a new cycle. Upon this theme Pacific salmon have developed many variations, both between as well as within species. Pacific Salmon Life Histories provides detailed descriptions of the different life phases through which each of the seven species passes. Each chapter is written by a scientist who has spent years studying and observing a particular species of salmon. Some of the topics covered are geographic distribution, transplants, freshwater life, ocean life, development, growth, feeding, diet, migration, and spawning behaviour. The text is richly supplemented by numerous maps, illustrations, colour plates, and tables and there is a detailed general index, as well as a useful geographical index.

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.
