The whole-fish total mercury (Hg) concentrations were determined in 25 mature female and 26 mature male white suckers (Catostomus commersonii) caught during their spawning run in the Kewaunee River, a tributary to Lake Michigan. The age of each fish...

16 March 2010

Catostomid fishes (suckers) have duplicate copies of the growth hormone gene and other nuclear genes, due to a genome duplication event early in the group’s history. Yet, paralogs of GH in suckers are more than 90% conserved in nucleotide (nt) and am...

Fishes in the cypriniform family Catostomidae (suckers) are evolutionary tetraploids. The use of nuclear markers in the phylogenetic study of this important group has been greatly hindered by the challenge of identifying paralogous copies of genes. I...
