Patterns and consequences of life history diversity in salinity exposure of an estuarine dependent fish
Abstract While it is common knowledge that Red Drum ( Sciaenops ocellatus ) inhabit oligohaline waters (salinity <5), lifetime reconstructions of salinity histories have been lacking, and this study provides unique insight into interannual and ontogenetic patterns of oligohaline occupancy by...

Abstract While it is common knowledge that Red Drum ( Sciaenops ocellatus ) inhabit oligohaline waters (salinity <5), lifetime reconstructions of salinity histories have been lacking, and this study provides unique insight into interannual and ontogenetic patterns of oligohaline occupancy by this economically valuable sportfish .
