The Phylogeography of Westslope Cutthroat Trout. The phylogeography of westslope cutthroat trout.

For species like the Westslope Cutthroat Trout Oncorhnchus lewisi, preserving their pure genetic makeup A genetically pure Westslope Cutthroat Trout. However, Rainbow Trout are capable of interbreeding with Westslope Cutthroat Trout, producing what are Pure Westslope Cutthroat Trout in a mountain stream. An Alberta stream showcasing ideal habitat for pure Westslope Cutthroat Trout.

Cutthroat Trout. Cutthroat Trout in the region. A Westslope Cutthroat Trout in Beaver Creek Freshwater Conservation Canada is working with partners and Since Westslope Cutthroat Trout can breed with introduced Rainbow Trout, determining the extent of hybridization Cutthroat Trout habitat.

the headwater streams originating from the Porcupine Hills provided valuable coldwater habitat for Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Bull Trout, but in recent years the trout seem to have vanished. Once teeming with Westslope Cutthroat trout, portions of Trout Creek within the Forest Reserve are no Trout Unlimited Canada (TUC) biologists planned to survey twelve sites on Trout Creek and its immediate While the trout are currently missing from Trout Creek, we hope that our efforts will lead toward the

Trout Creek is situated in the Porcupine Hills Public Land Use Zone (PLUZ) of Southwestern Alberta, and until recently, was home to a healthy population of Westslope Cutthroat Trout Oncorhynchus lewisi . Trout Creek represented a special population as it was one of the easternmost watersheds containing the Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis , which are both threats to the recovery and persistence of Westslope Cutthroat Trout in this watershed.

Cutthroat Trout and Bull Trout populations are hanging on and need recovery action. Cutthroat Trout. Results of the genetic analysis showed that populations of Westslope Cutthroat Trout above and below Rainbow Trout hybridize readily with Westslope Cutthroat Trout making them a serious threat to the genetic integrity and survival of the species, while Brook Trout can compete with Cutthroat Trout, displacing

This watershed is home to three threatened fish, Bull Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and a small, rehabilitation sites for years to come, and will continue working in the area to restore degraded sculpin and trout

Reconnecting Canada: Project Update – Waiparous Creek, Alberta: Trout Unlimited Canada’s ongoing “ Reconnecting ) and Westslope Cutthroat Trout ( Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi ), were found in both streams during electrofishing , especially the Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and samples were sent to the Flathead Biological Station Since Westslope Cutthroat Trout can interbreed with Rainbow Trout (which are not native to the area), many Cutthroat Trout streams in Alberta actually contain “Cutbow” hybrids.

Girardi Creek contains critical habitat for threatened native Westslope Cutthroat Trout. According to the provincial Westslope Cutthroat Trout Recovery Plan, the Girardi Creek population is one of only an estimated 51 populations of genetically pure Westslope Cutthroat Trout left in Alberta Trout. Cutthroat Trout in our landscape as it is likely not realistic to recover many of these lost populations

the project and determined that that the “adverse environmental effects on surface water quality and Westslope Cutthroat Trout and its habitat outweigh the positive economic impacts of the project and the project This is great news and we, at Trout Unlimited Canada, are pleased with this decision. The fact that all of Alberta’s stream-dwelling native trout are listed as “at-risk” under provincial
