The province's variety of geological features, with its major lakes, rivers, tributaries, and watersheds, is due in large part to its history as the basin for Glacial Lake Agassiz. This, combined with its access to the waters of Hudson Bay and large American river systems, has provided habitat for a wide diversity of freshwater fish. Species from lampreys to goldeye, catfish to perch, bigmouth bass to slimy sculpin swim in waters from arctic rivers in the north to Red River tributaries and down to the Mississippi in the south. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFreshwater Fishes of Manitoba\u003c\/em\u003e is a comprehensive, user-friendly guide.
