Question!!!!

I thought I seen something about cleaning fish. were if you filite them and see black dots on the skin under the meat. then do Not Eat them is this true????

It could be cysts, are you talking lake whitefish by chance? If you cook fish well there is no concern whatsoever, lowers the commercial value more than anything (whitefish in particular, some lakes fish have epidemic amounts of cysts). Unless I'm not understanding what you mean but I've processed lots of whitefish with little black cysts in the meat. Its from a tapeworm if your interested, but it can't survive in people (specialist).
Pike can have several species of tapeworm, one can affect people. I'm pretty sure its the only one in Alberta you can contract by not cooking your fish good enough.

I noticed the what seamed to be black spots in a few rainbow... not sure if it is a "parisite" is rainbows subject to parisites in Alberta?

I have never heard of it in Rainbows. I would still not worry about eating them, if you are worried simply cook it (don't make sushi ).

The black spots are "flat worm" parasites called cercaria (known by us as "Swimmers Itch"). This parasite can not hurt humans as we are not it's proper host (its proper hosts are snails in its pupa stage and birds in its adult stage) as well, the parasite can not live out of water. SRD had posted a warning a few years back that any fish showing these lesions or black spots should be cooked well to kill off any bacteria caused by the parasite and the infected flesh (about the size of a dime) should be cut out and disposed of. These lesions show up more frequently on really warm summers as the water temp rises.
