OF THE POLAR SEA. 145 
clodalis, oweepeetcheesces, or gold-eye, is a beau- 
tiful small fish, which resembles the trout in its 
habits, 
One of the largest fish is the mathemegh, cat- 
fish, or darbue. It belongs to the genus si/urus. 
It is rare, but is highly prized as food. 
The sturgeon (Accipenser ruthenus) is also 
taken in the Saskatchawan, and lakes communi- 
cating with it, and furnishes an excellent, but 
rather rich, article of food.
