Identification and Management of Genetic Diversity among Brook Trout Populations Inhabiting Five National Parks
King T. Identification and Management of Genetic Diversity among Brook Trout Populations Inhabiting Five National Parks
PIs have developed a suite (N=13) of microsatellite DNA markers for brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and to conduct an extensive survey of allelic variation in over the species' native range. Findings indicate that the individual stream or collections within should be considered the fundamental unit of management. After several years, individuals from each of three source streams selectively breed within their own source population, and not with individuals that come from a different stream.
