** The November meeting of Nature Moncton will
take place at 7 p.m. on Tuesday evening, November 19, at the Mapleton Pak Rotary
Lodge. There is so much that happens in Mother Nature’s underwater community
that we just don’t get to see and to interact with as we do on land, but rest
assured it is every bit as busy under the water surface as it is on land. Alyre
Chiasson will visit the underwater fish community of our freshwater rivers and
lakes, to see who may be there all the time, or to come from the sea to
complete their life cycle, as well as how these fish come to be here. A very
interesting subject that we don’t often get to hear about. The write-up as it
appears at the website at <www.naturemoncton.com> under upcoming events is repeated below:
Native Fish of New Brunswick
Date: November
19, 2019
Time: 7:00 pm
Location:
Mapleton Park Rotary Lodge (across from where Cabela’s used to be)
Speaker: Alyre Chiasson (Université de Moncton)
Unlike birds, fish more
often than not, escape our daily attention; yet in terms of species they far
outnumber our feathered friends. How the glaciers retreated from New Brunswick
has greatly influenced the distribution pattern of the various species of fish
in the province. Where and how they live is the subject of this presentation.
All of the fish I have selected are freshwater residents or pass part of their
life cycle in our rivers, streams and lakes. From a fish that spends its entire
life in an area no bigger than your bathtub to one that travels thousands of
miles to reach our province. From a fish that smells like cucumber to those
that navigate in the dark -- we’ve got them all! Join me for a somewhat
whimsical look at the fish of New Brunswick
All are welcome, Nature
Moncton Member or not.
