Abstract:
... The Firehole River (FHR) in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) is a world-renowned recreational fishery that predominantly includes rainbow trout (RBT,Oncorhynchus mykiss) and brown trout (BNT,Salmo trutta). The trout populations apparently are closed to immigration and have been self-sustaining since 1955. Inputs from hot springs and geysers increase the temperature and mineral content of the water, ...
... We examined the applicability of habitat preference indices for predicting density variations of age-0 brown trout (Salmo trutta) in two rivers in northern Finland. Trout densities in these rivers were monitored for 7 or 8 years. Habitat suitability for trout fry was assessed using summer and winter preference curves for water velocity, depth, and substrate. Substrate suitability indices based on ...
... The spatial and temporal genetic structure of brown trout populations from three small tributaries of Lake Hald, Denmark, was studied using analysis of variation at eight microsatellite loci. From two of the populations temporal samples were available, separated by up to 13 years (3.7 generations). Significant genetic differentiation was observed among all samples, however, hierarchical analysis o ...
... 1. The present study was designed to characterize the genetic structure of brown trout (Salmo trutta) populations from the southern Balkans and to assess the spread of non-native strains and their introgression into native trout gene pools. We analysed polymorphism at nine microsatellite loci in seven supposedly non-admixed and three stocked brown trout populations. 2. The analyses confirmed the a ...
... Rehabilitation trials involving riparian fencing and limited pool excavation were conducted on the River Piddle and Devil's Brook, Dorset, England, which had been degraded by intensive riparian grazing. In one trial, based on two short (94 and 99 m) treated sections and two control sections, brown trout, Salmo trutta L., numbers were monitored from 1994 (pre-treatment) to 2000. In a second trial f ...

Abstract:
... Introduced predators with patchy distributions can create demographic sinks within native prey populations. Such invasions may give rise to source–sink metapopulations if there are still sources of native species colonists in the landscape. In New Zealand, introduced brown trout (Salmo trutta) and rainbow trout (Oncorhychus mykiss) are linked with declines in native non‐diadromous galaxiids but co ...
... Wild stocks of brown trout, Salmo trutta L., collapsed in Finnish inland waters during the 20th Century because dams prevented upstream migration, and low water quality and stream dredging weakened reproduction. The demise in migratory stocks was coupled with overfishing, mainly by gillnetting on lakes. Consequently, the migratory spawning stocks have diminished to negligible levels. The remaining ...
... 1. Invasive predators negatively affect native prey to varying degrees across landscapes, and spatial configuration of invader-free refugia may affect prey distributions across invaded river networks. In New Zealand, introduced trout (Salmo trutta and Oncorhynchus mykiss) create source-sink dynamics in native Galaxias vulgaris populations, and their co-occurrence with trout may be enhanced by immi ...
... Exotic species present a great threat to native fish conservation; however, eradicating exotics is expensive and often impractical. Mechanical removal can be ineffective for eradication, but nonetheless may increase management effectiveness by identifying portions of a watershed that are strong sources of exotics. We used mechanical removal to understand processes driving exotic brown trout (Salmo ...
... Although laboratory studies have provided evidence for negative interactions between brook trout and brown trout, it is unknown how these interactions affect larger scale demographics in a natural setting. We tested the effects of invasive brown trout on brook trout demographics by removing brown trout from a sympatric population using a before–after control-impact study design. The study was cond ...
... The endemic marble trout, Salmo trutta marmoratus, suffered massive stocking with brown trout in Slovenia and Italy. In the Soča River (Slovenia) long-term surveys have evidenced Danubian and Atlantic introgressions. The observation of discrepancies between introgression frequencies when using morphology, mitochondrial sequences, allozymes, or microsatellites markers led to reanalyze the hybrid po ...
