Glacial Relict

Although the freshwater fish fauna of North America is relatively well studied, the biogeography of the deepwater sculpin ( Myoxocephalus thompsonii (Girard, 1851)) remains poorly understood. Collections of the species are limited, both because of its relatively remote distribution and because its habitat at the bottom of very deep lakes presents considerable logistic challenges for sampling. To investigate the biogeography of the deepwater sculpin, we conducted a range-wide (excluding the Laurentian Great Lakes) survey for the species between May and October 2004. Deepwater sculpin were collected using a variety of sampling gears, including a trap that was specifically designed to capture the species. We hypothesized that deepwater sculpin would be found only in areas that were formerly occupied by glacial lakes or the Champlain Sea. We reconstructed the historical boundaries of these water bodies and found that nearly all lakes where deepwater sculpin were collected, including four new localities, were within those limits. Conversely, the species was not detected in sampled lakes that were beyond these boundaries. Our results clarify the distribution and biogeography of the deepwater sculpin and strengthen the view that the current distribution of the species was mediated by dispersal through glacial lakes and the Champlain Sea.
