Title Ontogenetic Habitat Shifts of Juvenile Bear Lake Sculpin
Creator Ruzycki, J. Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A.
Description Bear lake sculpin Cottus extensus exhibit ontogenetic habitat shifts during their initial year of life. Distribution and habitat switching was measured with bimonthly bottom-trawl surveys repeated throughout the summer. Patterns of daily growth increments on otoliths were used to measure the history of habitat residence, individual size at the time of the habitat switch, and habitat-specific growth rates. Laboratory experiments and known-age fish confirmed daily increment formation of...
