concentrations of cadmium, lead, and zinc in fish from mining-influenced waters of northeastern oklahoma: sampling of blood, carcass, and liver for aquatic biomonitoring.	the tri-states mining district (tsmd) of missouri (mo), kansas (ks), and oklahoma (ok), usa, was mined for lead (pb) and zinc (zn) for more than a century. mining ceased more than 30 years ago, but wastes remain widely distributed in the region, and there is evidence of surface- and groundwater contamination in the spring river-neosho river (sr-nr) system of northeastern ok. in october 2001, we collected a total of 74 fish from six locations in the sr-nr system that included common carp (cyprinu ...	2005	15981034
biochemical effects of lead, zinc, and cadmium from mining on fish in the tri-states district of northeastern oklahoma, usa.	we assessed the exposure of fish from the spring and neosho rivers in northeast oklahoma, usa, to lead, zinc, and cadmium from historical mining in the tri-states mining district (tsmd). fish (n = 74) representing six species were collected in october 2001 from six sites on the spring and neosho rivers influenced to differing degrees by mining. additional samples were obtained from the big river, a heavily contaminated stream in eastern missouri, usa, and from reference sites. blood from each fi ...	2005	16117126
a screening-level assessment of lead, cadmium, and zinc in fish and crayfish from northeastern oklahoma, usa.	the objective of this study was to evaluate potential human and ecological risks associated with metals in fish and crayfish from mining in the tri-states mining district (tsmd). crayfish (orconectes spp.) and fish of six frequently consumed species (common carp, cyprinus carpio; channel catfish, ictalurus punctatus; flathead catfish, pylodictis olivaris; largemouth bass, micropterus salmoides; spotted bass, m. punctulatus; and white crappie, pomoxis annularis) were collected in 2001--2002 from ...	2006	16791710
snp discovery in wild and domesticated populations of blue catfish, ictalurus furcatus, using genotyping-by-sequencing and subsequent snp validation.	blue catfish, ictalurus furcatus, are valued in the united states as a trophy fishery for their capacity to reach large sizes, sometimes exceeding 45 kg. additionally, blue catfish × channel catfish (i. punctatus) hybrid food fish production has recently increased the demand for blue catfish broodstock. however, there has been little study of the genetic impacts and interaction of farmed, introduced and stocked populations of blue catfish. we utilized genotyping-by-sequencing (gbs) to capture an ...	2014	24797164
