Otoliths are calcified structures and the information contained within their chemistry or shape
can be used to infer life history events, migration patterns, and stock structure of a fish …

Fish migration in large freshwater lacustrine systems such as the Laurentian Great Lakes is
not well understood. The walleye (Sander vitreus) is an economically and ecologically …

We use aging techniques, ploidy analysis, and otolith microchemistry to assess whether four
grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella captured from the Sandusky River, Ohio were the …

Aquatic ecosystems are fuelled by biogeochemical inputs from surrounding lands and within-
lake primary production. Disturbances that change these inputs may affect how aquatic …

Obtaining biological and spatial information of the early life history (ELH) phases of fishes
has been problematic, such that larval and juvenile phases are often referred to as the 'black …

Hard-part microchemistry offers a powerful tool for inferring the environmental history and
stock assignment of individual fishes. However, despite the applicability of this technique to …

The chemistry of fish ear bones (otoliths) is used to address fundamental questions in fish
ecology and fisheries science. It is assumed that strontium (Sr), the most important element …

Similar to coastal marine systems, Lake Erie exhibits open-water river plumes that differ
physicochemically and biologically from surrounding waters. To explore their importance to …

Relative contributions of aquaculture-origin and naturally-reproduced grass carp
(Ctenopharyngodon idella) in the Laurentian Great Lakes have been unknown. We …

Otolith chemistry is widely used to address key questions relating to fish ecology and
fisheries management; however, there is limited research on the relative contributions of …
