Author(s): Kristen A. Dahl , William F. Patterson, III , Philip C. Darby , Amber Garr
Abstract:
The possibility of using shell chemistry as a natural tag to distinguish between wild and
hatchery reared Florida apple snails was assessed by testing for unique carbon and oxygen
stable isotope signatures.
