Isotopic Logs of The Sea of Cortez: Oxygen and Carbon Stable Isotopes in Otoliths of Marine Fish Record the Impact of Diverting the Colorado River from the Sea

I use microchemistry in fish otoliths to test the hypothesis that diverting Colorado River flow from reaching the Gulf of California has impacted two endemic fish: the threatened gulf Corvina, (Cynoscion othonopterus) and the endangered totoaba (Totoaba macdonaldi).
