Distribution of marine and anadromous fishes of Darnley Bay and the Anguniaqvia Niqiqiyuam Marine Protected Area, NT / Darcy G. McNicholl, Karen M. Dunmall, Andrew R. Majewski, Andrea Niemi, Colin P. Gallagher,...: Fs97-6/3394E-PDF
"Since the designation of the Anguniaqvia niqiqiyuam marine protected area in 2016, the distributions and occurrence list of anadromous and marine fish species have been compiled with most recent occurrences. In Darnley Bay, and habitats associated with the marine protected area, there have been 62 species identified comprising 23 genera in 18 families. These fishes have been grouped according to occurrences in generalized ecozones, which include areas within the marine protected area but also surrounding areas utilized by migratory species. In the coastal marine area there were 24 species found, relative to exclusively freshwater (12 species) or offshore shelf-basin fishes (26 species), found within the boundaries of 122 – 128°W and 69’00 – 70’30°N. The list includes commonly observed subsistence species (Salmonidae), rarer occurrences (i.e., Pholidae), those of possible relevance as species at risk (i.e., Anarhichadidae), and those found outside their normal range (Oncorhynchus spp.). Information presented provides summaries of habitat use, distribution and taxonomy relevant to monitoring and management in this region"--Abstract, page x.
