Reporting Fish Abnormalities

• Where you caught the fish;
• The type of fish; and
• The type of abnormality (and any photos of the fish).

If the fishing regulations allow you to keep the fish, it could be submitted for analysis by contacting the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre at 1-888-966-5815, or Hatfield Consultants.
