Coral reef fishes differ in their intrinsic vulnerability to fishing and rates of population
recovery after cessation of fishing. We reviewed life history-based predictions about the …

Over the past 20 years, the number of published otolith microstructure studies has grown
exponentially (see Jones, this volume). In a literature review, we found that otolith studies …

Seasonal and ontogenetic patterns in estuarine and coastal migrations of anadromous fish
species have important consequences to their survival, growth, recruitment, and …

The common carp Cyprinus carpio is one of the most widely-distributed freshwater fishes in
the world. Due to its value for conservation and fisheries in several native/translocated areas …

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 …

Otolith stable carbon isotope ratios provide a unique and widely applicable environmental
record. Unfortunately, uncertainty regarding the proportion of otolith carbon that derives from …

The relationships between egg production (spawning behavior), larval growth and survival,
and environmental conditions that larvae encounter were investigated in the Patuxent River …

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 …

Seagrass meadows are often important habitats for newly recruited juvenile fishes. Although
substantial effort has gone into documenting patterns of association of fishes with attributes …

Methods Sr/Ca ratios were examined for five large adults from the Chesapeake Bay and
South Carolina (Table 1). Adults from the Chesapeake were presumed to be anadromous …
