Distribution areas of terrestrial mammals, reptiles, reptiles, amphibians, and freshwater fish

The data represent the distribution of species of amphibians, reptiles, reptiles, terrestrial mammals and freshwater and migratory fish in Quebec.

The files represent:

amphibians: 21 species

reptiles: 17 species

terrestrial mammals: 69 species

freshwater and migratory fish: 118 species

The ranges were established on the basis of various sources of information and validated by the Main Directorate of

expertise on terrestrial fauna (DPEFT), the Main Directorate for Threatened or Vulnerable Species (DPEMV) and the Main Directorate of Expertise on Aquatic Wildlife (DPEFA) of the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (MELCCFP).

The ranges of species of _freshwater and migratory fish_ are also illustrated in the [“Freshwater Fish of Quebec”] poster (https://cdn-contenu.quebec.ca/cdn-contenu/faune/documents/animaux/affiche-poissons-eau-douce.pdf). Some ranges have been slightly modified since they were included in the poster.

__There may be differences between the ranges of the species shown in the files and the current spatial distribution of the species. __

The distribution areas were produced on a small scale; they provide indicative information on the presence of the species in Quebec.

The cards are the property of MELCCFP.

__Atten:__ The ranges of marine mammals that frequent the coasts of the province of Quebec are not included in this dataset.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
