| Summary: | Tessiarsuk (literally, 'Pretty Little Lake') has been known to the Eskimos of the Nain region of Northern Labrador for a number of generations as the habitat of a small wintering population of the Atlantic cod Gadus morhua. The first appearance in official records came as a result of the 'Blue Dolphin' expeditions of the 1950's: R.H. Backus in his publication 'The Fishes of Labrador' (1957) reports a visit to the lake on August 8, 1951, although he apparently did not enter with a boat and restricted his examination to the narrow entrance and the small fresh water tributary of the lower basin. |
