Title Otolith δ15N Distinguishes Fish from Forested and Agricultural Streams in Southern Illinois
Creator Vandermyde, Jodi M Whitledge, Gregory
Description We investigated the ability of otolith stable nitrogen isotope ratio (δ15N) to discriminate among fishes from southern Illinois streams that differed in proportions of watershed agricultural land. Otolith δ15N was nearly as effective as muscle δ15N in identifying fishes from individual sites with different percentages of agricultural land cover; both had accuracies of >75%. However, because of the relatively low N content of otoliths, substantial amounts (~8 mg) of otolith material are...
