The present study deals with the fish resources of a portion of the extensive Saskatchewan River Delta. This Delta consists of two rather discreet areas; a western portion which extends from the Squaw Rapids Hydroelectric Dam on the Saskatchewan River near Nipawin, Saskatchewan to approximately The Pas, Manitoba, and an eastern portion extending from The Pas to the western shores of Cedar and Moose lakes. The two areas are separated by The Pas Moraine, a glacial and moraine which originates just north of The Pas, courses southeastward between Cedar Lake and Lake Winnipegosis and ends on Long Point, Lake Winnipeg (Klassen, 1983). A portion of the eastern Delta has been inundated by the forebay of the Grand Rapids Hydroelectric Dam, which is located at the mouth of the Saskatchewan River. The western Saskatchewan River Delta can be divided into three relatively distinct areas. These are the Cumberland Marshes, which include wetlands lying between the Carrot River and Cumberland Lake and
