  • Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation

The objectives are to 1.) assess the effects and interactions of environmental factors on egg buoyancy and early life-history stage survival through laboratory and field experiments; and 2.) use these data to build a predictive model at the landscape and inchannel scales to predict the probability of successful spawning.
