Abstract

We documented a new population of Fundulus diaphanus (Banded Killifish) in Burton's Pond, within the City of St. John's, Newfoundland. To our knowledge, the Burton's Pond population is at the eastern limit of Banded Killifish's known occurrence in North America, and it has only existed since 1999. It represents a significant change in the species' continental distribution, and a very significant addition to its occurrence in Newfoundland, where Banded Killifish are listed under provincial and federal species-at-risk legislation.
