Summary

Proposed invasive carp barriers may threaten populations of migratory fishes in the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area by preventing movements between rivers needed to fulfill life history requirements. Moreover, reproducing populations of invasive carp could alter aquatic food webs and negatively affect mussels and migratory fishes. In this study, nonlethal chemical techniques were used to determine the trophic positions and migratory histories of lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) captured in the St. Croix and Mississippi rivers. Stable isotope analyses demonstrated differences in trophic position among sturgeon captured in different locations among the two rivers. Ratios of [...]

Purpose

Data were collected to provide baseline age and trace metal concentrations for sturgeon that can be used to evaluate changes in sturgeon migration should barriers to prevent invasive carp migration be installed or should populations of invasive carp become established.
