- Title
Newly discovered spawning and recruitment of threatened Longfin Smelt in restored and underexplored tidal wetlands.

- Abstract
For example, a recent study observed high densities of Longfin Smelt larvae in previously unsampled wetland habitats in the upper estuary (Grimaldo et al. [3]). Trace-element chemistry of otoliths (fish ear bones) could be used to quantify the relative contributions of different regions and habitat types to adult Longfin Smelt populations (Hobbs et al. [5]). For example, expansion of shallow low-salinity spawning and rearing habitats throughout the entire estuary in wet years may explain in part the positive relationship between interannual variation in freshwater outflow and Longfin Smelt recruitment.
