Bull Trout Genetic Diversity

22082019 We sampled 14 sites to characterize the genetic diversity of the Bull Trout populations within the Athabasca River Basin Western Arctic with six sites from the North Saskatchewan and Bow River Basins Saskatchewan-Nelson sampled for comparison Figure 1.

Bull trout genetic diversity. Link to Report on non-FWS website. We found a strong gradient in genetic diversity in bull trout populations across the Columbia River Basin where populations located in the most upstream headwater areas. Forest Service have demonstrated that DNA extracted from water samples from rivers across Oregon and Northern California can be used to estimate genetic diversity of Pacific salmon and trout.

10072020 The project serves multiple objectives including contributing to the mitigation of other bull trout population losses in the park conserving the genetic diversity of local bull trout populations establishing a new population of bull trout secure from non-native lake trout and enhancing the resiliency of park bull trout populations in the face of climate change. Here we tested whether patterns of genetic diversity allelic richness were related to climatic variation and habitat features in 130 bull trout Salvelinus confluentus populations from 24 watersheds ie 47th order river subbasins across the Columbia River Basin USA. Geological Survey West Glacier MT 59936 USA.

Genetic diversity was also greater in bull trout populations living in larger and more complex areas of habitat but was lower in populations inhabiting low-complexity warm streams. Techniques developed from this research are used to determine the population of origin of individual migratory Bull Trout encountered downstream of spawning areas. Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center US.

We work with the Conservation Genetics Laboratory of the USFWS Abernathy Fish Technology Center to collect and analyze tissue samples to describe the genetic diversity of Bull Trout populations. Here we tested whether patterns of genetic diversity allelic richness were related to climatic variation and habitat features in 130 bull trout Salvelinus confluentus populations from 24 watersheds ie 47th order river subbasins across the Columbia River Basin USA.
