Title Assessment of Otolith Chemistry for Identifying Source Environment of Fishes in the Lower Illinois River, Illinois
Creator Zeigler, John M Whitledge, Gregory
Description Knowledge of habitats used by fish throughout their life history is important for management and conservation of riverine fish populations and habitats. Naturally occurring chemical markers in otoliths have recently been used to determine natal origins and environmental history of fishes in a variety of marine and freshwater environments. However, to our knowledge no studies have examined the applicability of this technique in large floodplain rivers in the U.S.A. We evaluated otolith...
