Title Identification of Stocked Muskellunge and Potential for Distinguishing Hatchery-Origin and Wild Fish Using Pelvic Fin Ray Microchemistry
Creator Rude, Neil P Smith, Kurt T Whitledge, Gregory
Description The effectiveness of pelvic fin ray microchemistry of muskellunge Esox masquinongy Mitchill to identify stocked individuals along with the potential to identify naturally reproduced fish were evaluated. Fish and water samples were obtained from one hatchery and seven lakes with natural differences in water Sr:Ca to determine whether location-specific environmental signatures were recorded in sectioned muskellunge pelvic fin rays, including fish of known environmental history. Water and fin...
