摘要:

The aquatic environment of the Ungava Bay area and watershed is described. Forty-four species of fishes are recorded, belonging to twenty-one families. Twenty-nine are marine forms, two are anadromous, and thirteen are predominantly or entirely freshwater forms. Seventeen are new records for Ungava Bay, and a few are new for the whole of the Canadian Eastern Arctic. The marine piscine fauna is shown to be in the main subarctic, containing such arctic-subarctic forms asSalvelinus alpinus,Reinhardtius hippoglossoidès,Gymnocanthus tricuspis,Icelus bicornis,Aspidophoroides olriki,Lumpenus fabricii, etc., and subarctic-boreal species such asSalmo solar,Gadus callarias,Sebastes marinus,Liparis atlanticusandMallotus villosus. More strictly arctic species in the fauna areBoreogadus saida,Triglops nybeliniandOncocottus quadricornis; there are two Atlantic boreal species recorded,Faralepis rissoi kröyeriandLampanyctus crocodilus, and the remainder are fishes of wide north-south range, found in all three zones (arctic, subarctic, boreal), such asSomniosus microcephalus,Myctophum glaciale,Ammodytes dubius,Triglops pingeli,Eumicrotremus spinosus,Liparis tunicatus,Lumpenus maculatus,Lycodes reticulatus.
