The ranges of species of _freshwater and migratory fish_ are also illustrated in the “Freshwater Fish of Quebec” poster available here: https://mffp.gouv.qc.ca/wp-content/uploads/AF_poissons-eau-douce.pdf. Some ranges have changed slightly since they were included in the poster. __There may be differences between the ranges of the species presented in the files and the current spatial distribution of the species.__ The ranges were produced on a small scale, they provide indicative information on the presence of the species in Quebec. The cards are the property of the MFFP. __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).**
