This database contains the coordinates of observations of fish and invertebrates, which are exotic and invasive, known by the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (MELCCFP) in Quebec as of June 2025.

An aquatic invasive species is a plant, animal, or microorganism (virus, bacteria, or fungus) that is introduced outside of its natural range, colonizes new sites or regions at a rapid rate, and can form dominant populations. Its establishment or spread can pose a threat to the environment, economy, or society.

## #Les observations come from a variety of sources such as:

* scientific sampling carried out by the MELCCFP and by other governmental or non-profit organizations;
* mentions of citizens who contacted MELCCFP customer service directly or using tools such as Sentinelle and iNaturalist;
* accidental catches by commercial fishermen who are members of the Saint Lawrence Network for the Early Detection of Exotic Aquatic Invasive Species.

For more information on the control of aquatic invasive species, introduction factors, or prevention methods, consult the following web page: [Management of exotic invasive animal species] (https://www.quebec.ca/agriculture-environnement-et-ressources-naturelles/faune/gestion-faune-habitats-fauniques/gestion-especes-exotiques-envahissantes-animales).

To help you identify the various species of freshwater fish in Quebec (native and invasive), use the iPêche mobile application (available [here] (https://www.quebec.ca/tourisme-et-loisirs/activites-sportives-et-de-plein-air/peche-sportive/identifier-poisson-ipeche)), which is free and developed by the Government of Quebec. This application allows voluntary reporting of catches for wildlife research purposes.

## #Mises on guard

* __Please consult the PDF document for the list of acronyms and references used in the “Invasive exotic aquatic fauna in Quebec” database . __
* Data is not exhaustive. Thus, the absence of information in a given territory does not mean that there are no invasive aquatic fauna.
* The observations transmitted by means of photographs are validated by experts, but have not all been subject to field validation by the MELCCFP.
* The observations may have been changed since they were integrated into the database (e.g. control action).

Cette base de données contient les coordonnées d’observations de poissons et d’invertébrés, qui sont exotiques et envahissants, connues par le ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP) au Québec en date du mois de juin 2025.

Une espèce aquatique envahissante est un végétal, un animal ou un micro-organisme (virus, bactérie ou champignon) qui est introduit hors de son aire de répartition naturelle, qui colonise de nouveaux sites ou de nouvelles régions à un rythme rapide et qui peut former des populations dominantes. Son établissement ou sa propagation peuvent constituer une menace pour l’environnement, l’économie ou la société.

###Les observations proviennent de sources variées telles que :

* les échantillonnages scientifiques effectués par le MELCCFP et par d’autres organismes gouvernementaux ou à but non lucratif;
* les mentions de citoyens ayant communiqué directement avec le service à la clientèle du MELCCFP ou au moyen d’outils comme Sentinelle et iNaturalist;
* les captures accidentelles de pêcheurs commerciaux membres du Réseau de détection précoce des espèces aquatiques exotiques envahissantes du Saint Laurent.

Pour plus d’informations sur la lutte contre les espèces aquatiques envahissantes, les facteurs d’introduction ou les méthodes de prévention, consultez la page internet suivante : [Gestion des espèces exotiques envahissantes animales](https://www.quebec.ca/agriculture-environnement-et-ressources-naturelles/faune/gestion-faune-habitats-fauniques/gestion-especes-exotiques-envahissantes-animales).

Pour vous aider à identifier les différentes espèces de poissons d’eau douce du Québec (indigènes et envahissantes), utilisez l’application mobile iPêche (disponible [ici](https://www.quebec.ca/tourisme-et-loisirs/activites-sportives-et-de-plein-air/peche-sportive/identifier-poisson-ipeche)), gratuite et développée par le gouvernement du Québec. Cette application permet le signalement volontaire des captures à des fins de recherche sur la faune.

###Mises en garde

* __Veuillez consulter le document PDF pour la liste des acronymes et références utilisés dans la base de données «Faune aquatique exotique envahissante au Québec».__
* Les données ne sont pas des données exhaustives. Ainsi, l’absence d’informations dans un territoire donné ne signifie pas qu’il ne s’y trouve pas de faune aquatique envahissante.
* Les observations transmises au moyen de photographies sont validées par des experts, mais n’ont pas toutes fait l’objet d’une validation terrain par le MELCCFP.
* Les observations ont pu faire l’objet de changements depuis leur intégration dans la base de données (ex. : action de contrôle).</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
