Top 10 Fish Species In Canada

Canada is a water-rich country: there's a lot of water in Canada and around Canada (oceans, lakes, rivers). Because the bodies of water are of different types (freshwater, saltwater), the types of fish are different
as well.
The Top Ten
1 Great White Shark The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), also known as the white shark, white pointer, or simply great white, is a species of large mackerel shark which can be found in the coastal surface waters of all the major oceans. It is notable for its size, with larger female individuals growing to 6.1 m (20 ft) in length and 1,905–2,268 kg (4,200–5,000 lb) in weight at maturity. However, most are smaller; males measure 3.4 to 4.0 m (11 to 13 ft), and females measure 4.6 to 4.9 m (15 to 16 ft) on average.

Never ever mess with them - they are responsible for more recorded human bite incidents than any other shark. The "Jaws" features one of them.

Um did you pay attention in biology because dolphins and whales are not fish.

2 Humpback Whale The humpback whale is a species of baleen whale. One of the larger rorqual species, adults range in length from 12–16 m and weigh about 36,000 kg.

They can sing producing quite complex songs, no kidding (only the male though)
