ConclusionsHabitat Use: ↑Estuary ≠ ↑ ResidencyTwo rivers showed habitat use as predicted although overall a correlation with estuary size and distance to sea was not found
Growth: ↑Estuary ≠↑GrowthFish with the lowest LSHU (Winnegance) were significantly shorter at EgressWetland habitat (Mn:Ca) may infer a growth advantage; longer lengths at Egress
Differences Among Runs: Otolith A ≠ Otolith BWinnegance and Patten Pond show alternative migratory patterns compared to other runsOtolith methods are promising in terms of run differentiation
![Page 28: Molly Payne Wynne Dr. Karen Wilson University of Southern Maine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568166ae550346895ddaa48a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Implications/ Future Directions Otolith microchemistry can be
used to study habitat use in Maine rivers!
Freshwater and estuary habitats are important for recruitment to adult populations
Variation in Ba:Ca and Mn:Ca signatures in freshwater (otolith and water chemistry) could be used to identify origin at a finer scale
