STREAMNET DATA STORE
|
The StreamNet Data Store is a searchable archive of data sets related to fish and other aquatic resources that are not of the specific data types included in the main StreamNet database. These data sets come from many different sources and are provided for download in their original formats. To add your own data set to the Data Store, use our Data Publishing Service.
StreamNet did not participate in creation of most of these data sets, and we are not able to answer questions about those we did not help develop. For questions about the data sets available from this page, please contact the originator of the particular data set.

| Summary / Abstract
|
The distribution and abundance of Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki bouvieri; YCT) have declined from historical levels over part or all of their l range. For this YCT assessment we used existing information provided by 43 fisheries professionals applied through a consistent methodology to assess the extent of YCT historical range, their current distribution, including genetic status, and evaluated the foreseeable risks to 195 populations designated as conservation populations by management agencies. We estimated that YCT historically occupied about 17,397 miles of habitat in the western U.S. YCT currently occupy an estimated 7,528 miles of historical habitats (43%). Genetic testing has been completed across about 1,880 miles of habitat (25% of occupied habitats), but sample sizes were variable and sample sizes of 25 fish or more (a sample size that likely would detect as little as 1% introgression at alpha = 0.05) made up 27% of the samples. YCT with no evidence of genetic introgression currently occupy about 1,300 stream miles (17%) of habitat. Another 105 miles of currently occupied habitats (1%) contained YCT that were identified as part of a mixed stock where the YCT were not introgressed. We suggest that even though genetic sampling was nonrandom because sampling likely occurred more frequently in YCT populations that appeared non-introgressed, some, if not much, of the habitats currently occupied by YCT with no genetic testing likely support populations that are not introgressed. Approximately 3,000 miles of occupied habitat were identified as containing genetically unaltered YCT based on no record of stocking or by having no hybridizing species present. Much of the habitat currently occupied by YCT was located in designated parks (2%), wilderness areas (19%), and other road-less areas (40%), and almost 70% of habitats currently occupied lie within federally managed lands. A total of 195 separate YCT populations currently occupying 6,346 miles of habitat were designated as conservation populations (84.3% of currently occupied habitat). These conservation populations were spread throughout the historical range, occuring in 35 of the 41 hydrologic units historically occupied by YCT. Most of these conservation populations were judged to be isolets (143 or 73%); however, meta-populations occupied much more of the habitat (5,515 miles or 73%). Of the 195 designated conservation populations, 133 (68%) had at least some component that was tested as genetically unaltered or viewed as being potentially unaltered. Thirty nine populations (20%) consisted of only tested unaltered YCT. More isolet populations were at higher risks due to temporal variability, population size, and isolation than meta-populations, but these isolets were generally at less risk from genetic and disease factors than meta-populations.
This assessment clearly shows that YCT currently occupy significant portions of, and are well distributed across, their historical range. The data suggest that genetically unaltered YCT occupy at least 17% and possibly up to 58% of currently occupied habitats (7 to 25% of historical habitats). Conservation population designations suggest that two different conservation management strategies are needed and being implemented to conserve YCT. One strategy concentrates on preventing introgression, disease and competition risks through isolation of YCT, while the other concentrates on preserving meta-population function and multiple lifehistory strategies by connecting occupied habitats.
