Encroachment of Exotic Rainbow Trout into Stream Populations of Native Brook Trout in the Southern Appalachians
Larson GL and Moore SE. 1985. Encroachment of Exotic Rainbow Trout into Stream Populations of Native Brook Trout in the Southern Appalachians. Transactions of the American Fisheries Society. 114(Number 2):195 -203
The paper was written in 1983. The authors refer to previous work. They conclude that rainbow trout may, in time, invade all brook trout habitats, driving this last species into isolated pockets, inbreeding, and random extinction, without further management.
