The Aquatic Conservation Department is Offering This Grant for Rio Grande Silvery Minnow Transgenerational Tagging Research
SynopsisVersion HistoryRelated DocumentsPackage This grant is for developing an innovative trans-generational tagging technique to monitor Rio Grande silvery minnow. Existing methods are ineffective for marking larvae and juveniles. This project proposes tagging pre-spawn females with isotopes, enabling the tracking of unique signals through their offspring and the broader population. This technique, successful in other species, requires rigorous laboratory validation for the Rio Grande silvery minnow prior to field use. The primary [...]
