Distribution is restricted to institutions or individuals located in particular regions of Canada. However, no restriction is placed on subject matter, and the series reflects the broad interests and policies of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, namely, fisheries and aquatic sciences. Manuscript reports may be cited as full publications. The correct citation appears above the abstract of each report. Each report is abstracted in the data base Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts. Manuscript reports are produced regionally but are numbered nationally. Requests for individual reports will be filled by the issuing establishment listed on the front cover and title page. Numbers 1-900 in this series were issued as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Biological Board of Canada, and subsequent to 1937 when the name of the Board was changed by Act of Parliament, as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. Numbers 1426 - 1550 were issued as Department of Fisheries and Environment, Fisheries and Marine Service Manuscript Reports. The current series name was changed with report number 1551. Rapport manuscrit canadien des sciences halieutiques et aquatiques Les rapports manuscrits contiennent des renseignements scientifiques et techniques qui constituent une contribution aux connaissances actuelles, mais qui traitent de problèmes nationaux ou régionaux. La distribution en est limitée aux organismes et aux personnes de régions particulières du Canada. II n'y a aucune restriction quant au sujet; de fait, la série reflète la vaste gamme des intérêts et des politiques de Pêches et Océans Canada, c'est-à-dire les sciences halieutiques et aquatiques. Les rapports manuscrits peuvent être cités comme des publications à part entière. Le titre exact figure au-dessus du résumé de chaque rapport. Les rapports manuscrits sont résumés dans la base de données Résumés des sciences aquatiques et halieutiques. Les rapports manuscrits sont produits à l'échelon régional, mais numérotés à l'échelon national. Les demandes de rapports seront satisfaites par l'établissement auteur dont le nom figure sur la couverture et la page du titre. Les numéros 1 à 900 de cette série ont été publiés à titre de Manuscrits (série biologique) de l'Office de biologie du Canada, et après le changement de la désignation de cet organisme par décret du Parlement, en 1937, ont été classés comme Manuscrits (série biologique) de l'Office des recherches sur les pêcheries du Canada. Les numéros 901 à 1425 ont été publiés à titre de Rapports manuscrits de l'Office des recherches sur les pêcheries du Canada. Les numéros 1426 à 1550 sont parus à titre de Rapports manuscrits du Service des pêches et de la mer, ministère des Pêches et de l'Environnement. Le nom actuel de la série a été établi lors de la parution du numéro 1551.

Bibliography on the marine fishes of Arctic Canada. Can. Manuscr. Rep. Fish. Aquat. Sci. 3101: v + 509 p. This bibliography lists works on the biology, fisheries and taxonomy of fishes found in marine waters of Arctic Canada. It comprises over 5,340 references. These form a basis for the book Marine Fishes of Arctic Canada (University of Toronto Press) for the species accounts, general text and mapping, in addition to data from museum collections and anecdotal reports. Key words: Literature, Biology, Taxonomy, Arctic marine fishes RÉSUMÉ Coad, B.W., and Reist, J.D. 2016. Bibliography on the marine fishes of Arctic Canada. Can. Manuscr. Rep. Fish. Aquat. Sci. 3101: v + 509 p. Cette bibliographie offre une liste d’ouvrages sur la biologie, la pêche et la taxonomie des poissons qui vivent dans les eaux marines de l’Arctique canadien. Elle compte plus de 5 340 références. En outre des données de collections muséales et de rapports anecdotiques, ces références constituent la base du livre Marine Fishes of Arctic Canada (University of Toronto Press) pour les données sur les espèces, le texte général et la cartographie. Mots clés: littérature, taxonomie, biologie, poisons marins de l’Arctique iv Acknowledgements This project was supported by the Canadian Museum of Nature (CMN), Ottawa including its Library staff who sought out many of the references cited herein. Financial support from the CMN and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Winnipeg enabled Coad to visit libraries in Calgary, Alberta and the Natural History Museum, London. v INTRODUCTION The bibliography is meant as a reference guide to literature on Arctic marine fishes in Canadian waters. It is a source for works on species accounts and the general text of the book (Marine Fishes of Arctic Canada), and is also one of the sources for mapping, in addition to museum collections and anecdotal reports. The bibliography comprises over 5,340 items. Modern literature is often available on-line, free or at a cost, but the links for these items are not always cited here as they are easily searched for and earlier ones are defunct. Some literature cited here is from areas outside Canadian waters but is included for its relevance. Coverage of adjacent regions is not exhaustive but some extra-limital works are included as they provide information on biology lacking for strictly Canadian waters. Systematic and taxonomic works may also be from outside the Arctic but are of relevance to an understanding of Arctic fishes and are included here. Some earlier, purely systematic, works are not cited since they are summarised in later synoptic works, e.g. Andriyashev (1954). Some references are on freshwater fishes and this is not an exhaustive survey on this Arctic fauna but a sampling deemed to be of some relevance since the fish enter the sea. Not all documents cited here are readily available (to us; nor to McAllister and Steigerwald (1986), the last bibliography on this ichthyofauna); many are consultant reports of limited or restricted circulation which were cited in other, similar reports and copied here. They are included for completeness and are variably available in local libraries of several government departments and universities. A wide range of articles cited here mention fishes only in passing or are conference abstracts but again are cited for the sake of completeness; this is usually self- evident from the title and article length and nature. The principal libraries searched were the Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa (the library is in Gatineau, Québec and is online at http://nature.ca); the reprint collections housed in the Research Services Division of the Canadian Museum of Nature in Gatineau (not online but card indexed and filed by author and available to visitors); Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Ottawa and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Winnipeg (internet access to holdings in Fisheries and Oceans libraries across Canada is available on-line through the "Waves" website (http://waves- vagues.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/waves-vagues/); Environment and Climate Change Canada, Gatineau; Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, Gatineau; Geological Survey, Ottawa; Boreal Institute Library, University of Alberta, Edmonton; Arctic Institute of North America, Library, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta (available on-line at the "ASTIS" website at www.aina.ucalgary.ca/astis/ and the Natural History Museum, London, England. Additional materials were obtained through interlibrary loan from a wide variety of libraries. Some species have a wide distribution outside Canadian or Canadian Arctic waters and have great commercial or ecological significance. The literature on these species is extensive but
