Aquatic Fauna of the Shubenacadie Headwater Lakes. An Exercise in Information Retrieval (Curatorial Report #44)

Abstract

The catalogue of the zoological collections of the Nova Scotia Museum was searched to extract records of aquatic fauna recorded from the  Shubenacadie headwater lakes watershed in Nova Scotia. Forty-nine species were recorded although collections had not been made at all of the lakes and streams in the watershed. The usefulness of miscellaneous fauna records and problems of information retrieval are discussed.
