Map of Fishing Regions

This map shows the three main fishing regions in Canada. The three circled spots represent the location of these fisheries. The one on the far right circling the maritime provinces is the Atlantic (east coast) fishery. The one on the far left circling the coast of British Columbia is the Pacific (west coast) fishery. The one in the middle circling the great lakes represents the freshwater (inland lakes) fishery. Although the freshwater fishery includes other inland lakes the highest amount of fish come from the great lakes.
