Title Fin Ray Chemistry as a Potential Natural Tag for Smallmouth Bass in Northern Illinois Rivers
Creator Smith, Kurt T Whitledge, Gregory
Description Natural chemical markers in otoliths and fin rays have proven useful for describing environmental history of fishes in a variety of environments. However, no studies have evaluated smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) pectoral fin ray chemistry as a non-lethal alternative to otolith chemistry. We evaluated the trace element composition of smallmouth bass fin rays collected from northern Illinois rivers and determined the accuracy with which fish could be classified to their environment of...
