Growth and morphometry of the pygmy whitefish (Prosopium coulteri) in British Columbia ...
The present study is, in part, a description of meristic variation in the pygmy whitefish, Prosopium coulteri, of British Columbia fish with those of other areas. The species was shown to be highly variable meristically both within and between populations. There are indications in some characters of...
