Combining Genetic, Isotopic, and Field Data to Better Describe the Influence of Dams and Diversions on Burbot Movement in the Wind River Drainage, Wyoming
Abstract Dams and water diversions fragment habitat, entrain fish, and alter fish movement. Many Burbot Lota lota populations are declining, with dams and water diversions thought to be a major threat. We used multiple methods to identify Burbot movement patterns and assess entrainment into an irrig...
