Status of the northern brook lamprey, Ichthyomyzon fossor, in Canada

Abstract

Northern brook lamprey is a small, non-parasitic lamprey not particularly abundant in its endemic North American range. In Canada, it is found in the Hudson Bay drainage of Manitoba and in the Great Lakes drainage of Ontario and Quebec. These represent the northern limits of its range. It is not specifically protected in Canada except for the general protection granted through the fish protection and pollution prevention sections of the Fisheries Act. -from Author
