Distribution
The distribution of the Deepwater Sculpin is almost entirely limited to Canada with the exception of the American Great Lakes and a few inland lakes in Michigan, Minnesota and Montana. A September 2007 study by the Waterton Lakes National Park and the University of Lethbridge found that the Deepwater Sculpin is the third most common fish in Upper Waterton Lake in extreme northwestern Montana and Canada.
"In Canada, its distribution is patchy and limited to cold, deep lakes in areas that were formerly glaciated or with proglacial lake connections. This includes the Gatineau region through the Laurentian Great Lakes, Manitoba and Saskatchewan and northward to Great Bear and Great Slave lakes in the Northwest Territories. An isolated population also exists in Waterton Lake, Alberta. Designated at risk (Special Concern) are the Great Lakes-Western St. Lawrence populations, which are found in only 10 lakes in eastern Canada. In Ontario, this fish occurs in lakes Nipigon, Ontario, Superior, Fairbank, Huron and Erie. In Lake Erie, only larvae (young-of-the-year) have been observed. In Quebec, it occurs in Lac des Îles and in Roddick, Thirty-one-Mile and Heney lakes. Populations in Heney Lake and Lac des Îles are in decline or may even no longer exist."

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:
“In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The question for the country now is how to secure a more equal distribution of property among the people. There can be no republican institutions with vast masses of property permanently in a few hands, and large masses of voters without property.... Let no man get by inheritance, or by will, more than will produce at four per cent interest an income ... of fifteen thousand dollars] per year, or an estate of five hundred thousand dollars.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
