Cystidicola farionis Fischer is widely distributed in fishes in northern North America west of the Appalachian Mountains. The swimbladders of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) from 225 localities across North America were examined for the parasite but only those from the Alsek, Coppermine, Flat, Peel, Stikine, Upper Liard, and Yukon River systems were infected with mature nematodes. The ancestors of fishes in these watersheds survived glaciation in a Bering refugiurn. Thus, this strain of C. farionis probably had a refugium in Beringia in the unglaciated parts of the Yukon River system and dispersed from there into northern British Columbia and the coastal mainland of the Northwest Territories during glacial retreat.

Lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) from Sassenach Lake, a subalpine lake in jasper National Park, Alberta, are stunted and grow slower than lake trout from any other known population in North America. Mean weight at age 10 was 125 g and at age 20 was 281 g. The largest fish caught weighed 451 g and was 28 yr old. We attribute the slow growth to the absence in the lake of preferred lake trout foods such as amphipods and other fish species. Males were usually mature at > 75 g, and females were often mature at > 100 g. Fifty percent or more of males and females spawned at age 4 and 7, respectively. The age when [Formula: see text] of females spawn in Sassenach Lake, age 7, was typical for lake trout populations with > 5% but < 40% of the catch older than 10 yr. Thus, age at maturity was not obviously affected by the stunted condition of the population.

Although the interest in shell middens in North America is often traced to reports of the discoveries in Danish kjoekkenmoeddings in the mid-nineteenth century, extensive shell midden studies were already occurring on the East Coast by that time. This article reviews selected examples of this early work done by geologists and naturalists, which served as a foundation for shell midden studies by archaeologists after the Civil War.
