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 goal is to establish a reliable new tagging method, allowing comprehensive monitoring of stocked fish and their progeny, vital for its recovery and conservation.

| Description: | We are proposing to investigate a trans-generational tagging technology that if successful, will allow us to monitor the progeny (larvae and juveniles included) of stocked fish as well as the released fish themselves. To date, we have successfully initiated a batch marking technique for adults (Visible Implant Elastomer), and an individual marking technique (PIT tag) for large adults, but have yet to test and implement a successful technique for marking larval and juvenile Rio Grande silvery minnow. In short, this technique involves the tagging of pre-spawn females with one of several isotopes and following that isotopic signal through the population. This technique has been used on a variety of other fishes, but must be tested on Rio Grande silvery minnow in a laboratory environment before use in the field. The priority for this project is to determine the effectiveness and implement a new tagging technique for Rio Grande silvery minnow. The objective, as identified in the Recovery Actions and Narrative in the Revised Recovery Plan. |
