Serfas C, Holman R, Watch L, Leonard J. 2008. Growth in Coaster Brook Trout: Seasonal and Hormonal Effect. Pages 52. In National Park Service: Western Great Lakes Research Conference. Marquette, Michigan. April 1-2, 2008. National Park Service. Marquette, Michigan
Populations (3 coasters, 1 stream resident) of Lake Superior brook trout (age 1) were compared over time to determine if they differed in growth parameters or levels of thyroid hormones. Similarity in growth parameters seen under common rearing conditions suggested that the differences in growth in field studies are most likely an environmental effect.
