Preserving Alberta’s Native Trout: A Genetics Perspective
<p>Alberta’s eastern slopes are not only a haven for outdoor enthusiasts but also home to a rich diversity of fish species. This includes three species at risk: <strong>Athabasca rainbow trou</strong>t, <strong>bull trout</strong>, and <strong>westslope cutthroat trout</strong>. Ensuring the genetic integrity of these species and their ability to adapt to environmental changes is important for maintaining healthy populations. Healthy fish populations result in healthy aquatic ecosystems.</p>
<p>In this blog, we explain why it is important to understand Alberta native trout genetics and emphasize the role of genetics in conservation, habitat protection, and sustainable management practices.</p>
