Description:

The joint American Fisheries Society and American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists Committee on Names of Fishes has updated the list of the species of fishes in the three countries of North America. This contribution provides succinct analyses of the changes in these data over the eight editions, for example, the discovery of new species and exotic species, as well as the conservation status of the fishes in the three countries and by habitat. There are 5,089 species of fishes in North America: 1,254 in Canada, 3,821 in the United States, and 3,261 in Mexico; 107 of them are introduced established species and 37 are extinct.
