Download or read book Cutthroat written by Pat Trotter and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cutthroat tells the full story of the genuine native trout of the American West. This new edition, thoroughly revised and updated after 20 years, synthesizes what is currently known about one of our most interesting and colorful fishes, includes much new information on its biology and ecology, asks how it has fared in the last century, and looks toward its future. In a passionate and accessibly written narrative, Patrick Trotter, fly fisher, environmental advocate, and science consultant, details the evolution, natural history, and conservation of each of the cutthroat's races and incorporates more personal reflections on the ecology and environmental history of the West's river ecosystems. The bibliography now includes what may be the most comprehensive and complete set of references available anywhere on the cutthroat trout. Written for anglers, nature lovers, environmentalists, and students, and featuring vibrant original illustrations by Joseph Tomelleri, this is an essential reference for anyone who wants to learn more about this remarkable, beautiful, and fragile western native.

Book Ecological and Environmental Investigations of Competition Between Native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout  Oncorhynchus Clarkii Bouvieri   Rainbow Trout  Oncorhynchus Mykiss   and Their Hybrids

Download or read book Ecological and Environmental Investigations of Competition Between Native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Oncorhynchus Clarkii Bouvieri Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus Mykiss and Their Hybrids written by Steven Michael Seiler and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduced species can have dramatic impacts within the native communities where they become established. In western North America, native cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii) are experiencing drastic declines due to habitat alteration and fish introductions. Rainbow trout ( O. mykiss) are thought to be especially detrimental to cutthroat trout because they share similar life histories and can form fertile hybrid offspring, compounding interspecific competition through added pressure from hybrids. My dissertation consists of five studies developed to test ecological and environmental factors that may influence the spread of rainbow trout and cutthroat-rainbow hybrid trout within native Yellowstone cutthroat trout ( O. c. bouvieri) populations. I raised Yellowstone cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and reciprocal first generation hybrids under common conditions and tested for differences in morphology and swimming stamina (Chapter 1), aggression and foraging ability (Chapter 2), and the strength of interspecific competition on the growth rate of Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Chapter 3). I also surveyed trout and environmental characteristics from the South Fork of the Snake River watershed to test for morphological differences between wild Yellowstone cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and hybrids (Chapter 4) and to examine the influence of environmental characteristics on the extent of hybridization (Chapter 5). I found differences in morphology, swimming stamina, foraging behavior, and growth between Yellowstone cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and their hybrids that place cutthroat trout at a disadvantage. The field survey found body shape differences between Yellowstone cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and hybrids consistent with those of trout raised in the laboratory with high predictability of genetic class based on morphology alone. The degree of hybridization present at field sampling locations was related to the size of the stream and summer water temperature of the sampling location; however, level of hybridization could also be the result of distance from a location where most rainbow trout were stocked. My work provides some of the first tests of competition between cutthroat trout and rainbow trout and the influence of hybridization. This dissertation will aid in cutthroat trout conservation efforts and be of general interest to invasive species ecologists in better understanding the dynamics of invasive species success.

Download or read book Conservation Plan for Colorado River Cutthroat Trout Oncorhynchus Clarki Pleuriticus for the Little Snake River Drainage in Southeastern Wyoming written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Colorado River cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki pleuriticus) historically occupied portions of the Colorado River drainage in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. Today this subspecies only occupies a fraction of its historical range is primarily located in small headwater streams. Colorado River cutthroat trout is a category 2 species (one that may be appropriate for listing as threatened or endangered) by the USDI Fish and Wildlife Service and is considered a sensitive species by Region 2 of the Forest Service. This conservation strategy is a continuation of efforts started in 1987 under a comprehensive management plan for Colorado River cutthroat trout in Wyoming"--Page ii.

Threats that warrant CRCT listing as a special status species by state and federal agencies and might lead to listing under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, will be eliminated or reduced through implementation of this Strategy. Involved parties include: Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife; United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management.

Book A Portfolio Framework for Prioritizing Conservation Efforts for Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Populations

Download or read book A Portfolio Framework for Prioritizing Conservation Efforts for Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Populations written by Robert Al-Chokhachy and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing and conserving native taxa is becoming increasingly challenging because of mounting threats and limited resources, predicating the need for frameworks to prioritize conservation actions. We integrate attributes of population persistence, genetic status, threats of non-native species, and threats from climatic shifts to prioritize conservation actions for Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri. We use the individual attributes to rank populations and provide a framework to identify the benefits of individual conservation actions. The majority of extant populations (57%) have high probability (>75%) of persistence, but nearly 70% of populations were either slightly hybridized or sympatric with non-native species, and 44% of extant populations occupy habitat with low climatic resilience. Overall, we found 36% of populations ranked as high (>75%) conservation priority, and these populations primarily occupy large, relatively high elevation habitats. The prioritization framework provides a platform for identifying and ranking actions with the greatest conservation effectiveness.

Book Colorado River Cutthroat Trout  Oncorhynchus Clarkii Pleuriticus

Download or read book Colorado River Cutthroat Trout Oncorhynchus Clarkii Pleuriticus written by Michael K. Young and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colorado River cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii pleuriticus) was once distributed throughout the colder waters of the Colorado River basin above the Grand Canyon. About 8 percent of its historical range is occupied by unhybridized or ecologically significant populations. It has been petitioned for listing under the Endangered Species Act and is accorded special status by several state and federal agencies. Habitat alteration and nonnative trout invasions led to the extirpation of many populations and impede restoration. Habitat fragmentation exacerbated by climate change is an emerging threat. A strategic, systematic approach to future conservation is likely to be the most successful.
