The Department of Fish and Wildlife is offering a grant to study selenium exposure in Sacramento Splittail. The funding will cover the preparation and analysis of fish otoliths to evaluate selenium exposure pathways. This grant aims to unravel the sources of selenium exposure in the species, using established techniques for otolith preparation and X-ray fluorescence microscopy for examination. Applicants should refer to the funding authority, including the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 and the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Closing date for applications is on Nov 01, 2017.

| Description: | This funding is being provided as a cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CFDA 15.678). The funding will provide for fish otoliths preparation and analysis to evaluate selenium exposure and sources in Sacramento Splittail (Pogonichthys macrolepidotus). Funding authority: Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended, 16 U.S.C. (742f (a)(4); Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 661.; Fish and Wildlife Improvement Act of 1978, as amended (16 U.S.C. 753), Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965, as amended (16 U.S.C. 4601-4 through 11), Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). Unraveling Pathways and Sources of Selenium Exposure in Sacramento Splittail. Otoliths will be prepared using established techniques (Barnett-Johnson et al. 2005, Woodson et al. 2013, Sturrock et al. 2015), cleaned then mounted in Crystalbond resin and polished until the primordia and daily increments are exposed and examined using X-ray fluorescence microscopy to evaluate selenium patterns |
