Abstract: Amazonian goliath catfishes are widespread in the Amazon Basin. Recently, otolith ⁸⁷Sr:⁸⁶Sr analyses using laser ablation–multi‐collector–inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐MC‐ICPMS) revealed a >8,000 km trans‐Amazonian natal homing in Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii among fish caught and hatched… read more here.
