| Summary: | The presence of possible migration routes between the Missouri (Gulf of Mexico) and adjacent Saskatchewan (Hudson Bay) drainages is briefly discussed in regard to postglacial dispersal of freshwater fishes. A checklist of 9 families and 27 species of fish recorded from the Milk and Frenchman rivers of Alberta and Saskatchewan is provided. Two of these are new to the Missouri ichthyofauna of Canada and definite records of 10 species are reported for the first time from the Missouri drainage of Saskatchewan. Notes are included on the distribution of all known species within the Missouri drainage of Canada. The possible presence of three additional species is discussed. |
