The cleithrum is a crescent-chaped bone under the gill flap which should be removed from any fish found dead or which has been caught legalling by angling and is being kept for food or taxidermy.
Information about the fish - length, girth, weight, lake, date, etc. - should be recorded and submitted along with the cleithrum to: Royal Ontario Museum, 100 Queen's Park Crescent, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 2C6. to do this, an information package can be picked up at the nearest regional Ministry of Natural Resources Office.
