DISTRIBUTION OF FISH GOOD PLACES. 253 



stone trout is found in northwestern Wyoming and western 

 Montana and Idaho. The malma or dolly varden trout is 

 found along the northwestern coast from northern Cali- 

 fornia to Alaska and is caught in fresh water and in the 

 se,a. The steelhead is found, in salt water and river mouths 

 from California northward, and spawns in the heads of the 

 streams. It and allied species are common in British 

 Columbia. 



The true salmon of the Atlantic and Pacific are so 

 closely related to the trouts that they might well all be 

 called trout or all salmon, and really do, with the exception 

 of the chars, belong to the same family. The Atlantic 

 salmon seldom enters the streams south of Maine, and is 

 more abundant in Canadian and Newfoundland waters. 

 They are plentiful along the coast of Labrador and around 

 into Hudson bay, entering the streams there in large num- 

 bers. The various Pacific ocean salmon are found all along 

 the coast from central California northward to Behring sea 

 and run up all of the streams to spawn. 



The muskellunge and the pike inhabit the same waters, 

 the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence and its tributaries, certain 

 waters of New York, and many of Michigan and Wisconsin, 

 as well as the streams and lakes of the north side of the 

 Great Lakes. The pike also extends northwestward into 

 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the far northwest. 

 The range of the eastern pickerel is from the St. Lawrence 

 valley southward through all of the Atlantic coast states 

 to Florida. The western pickerel inhabits all of the states 

 of the Middle West. 



The pike-perch is found in the region surrounding the 

 Great Lakes and the upper Ohio river and i^s tributaries, 

 also along near the Atlantic coast from Maryland southward. 

 The yellow perch is more widely distributed, being found in 

 the same range as the pike-perch and farther up along the 

 east coast, extending through the New England states.
