Summary

Data included in this data set are from suckers collected in Hagelstein Pond from 2014 through 2021. Data were collected on age, marginal increment, and marginal increment ratios from fin rays, and length of suckers captured during monthly sampling events. There are two levels of data. Fin ray data contains 409 records and the data file is 31 KB, repeat data contains 58 records and the data file is 5 KB. The data files can be linked by Vial_ID with Vial1, Vial2, or Vial3 which are codes unique to each fin ray. Data files are CSV files that are comma delimited.

Purpose

The purpose of this dataset was to validate the assumption that increments on fin rays of juvenile endangered Lost River and Shortnose suckers are formed annually. This in turn will increase our confidence in our assessment of year-class formation, annual juvenile sucker survival indices, and information on early life histories of juvenile suckers which are important indices that can help guide recovery efforts.
