Three species of carp (Catastomus hudsonius, C.
forsterianus, and C.lesueurii) are also found abundantly in all the lakes, their Cree names are namaypeeth, meethquawmaypeeth, and wapawhawkeeshew.

The occuw, or river perch, termed also horn-fish, piccarel, or dore, is common, but is not so much esteemed as the attihhawmeg.

It attains the length of twenty inches in these lakes.

The methy is another common fish; it is the Gadus lota, or burbot, of Europe.
Its length is about two feet, its gullet is capacious and it preys upon fish large enough to distend its body to nearly twice its proper size.

It is never eaten, not even by the dogs, unless through necessity but its liver and roe are considered as delicacies.
The pike is also plentiful and, being readily caught in the wintertime with the hook, is so much prized on that account by the natives as to receive from them the name of eithinyoocannooshoeoo, or Indian fish.
