Creator Laughlin, Troy W Whitledge, Gregory Oliver, Devon C Rude, Neil P
Description Insight into environments that contribute recruits to adult fish stocks in riverine systems is vital for effective population management and conservation. Catfish are an important recreational species in the Mississippi River and are commercially harvested. However, contributions of main channel and tributary habitats to catfish recruitment in large rivers are unknown. Stable isotope and trace elemental signatures in otoliths are useful for determining environmental history of fishes in a...
