    Global Range
    G - 200,000-2,500,000 square km (about 80,000-1,000,000 square miles) - G - In Canada, it is common and often abundant in British Columbia, particularly Vancouver Island and other coastal islands (including Queen Charlotte Islands) and on the mainland from the Columbia to the Fraser and Skeena River systems (Clarke, 1981). It also occurs in Alberta with little precise information (two lakes) (Metcalfe-Smith and Cudmore-Vokey, 2004). Clarke (1981) also cites a few mountain lakes in the uppermost North Saskatchewan (questionable) and Athabasca River systems of Alberta and extends in the Pacific drainage to Oregon. Nedeau et al. (2005) list distribution as the watersheds of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alberta, and northern Saskatchewan. The species also occurs in the southeast panhandle of Alaska (AK NHP, pers. comm., 2007).
