Thermal acclimation and gene expression in rainbow smelt: Changes in the myotomal transcriptome in the cold. As such, Pflieger (1997) concluded that populations in Missouri are maintained by the continued escape of fish from upstream reservoirs on the Missouri River.

Rainbow smelt, Osmerus mordax, is native to watersheds tributary to the western Atlantic Ocean from New Jersey to the Labrador coast (Scott and Crossman 1973). The Lake Utopia sympatric smelt exhibit a life cycle similar to other freshwater and anadromous Rainbow Smelt populations, but with a key distinction being the development of trophic and reproductive isolation that promotes genetic divergence between the Small and Large smelt.
