1 Stocking Brook Trout in Virginia s reservoirs: dispersal, naturalization, and introgression p g with native trout populations R. Humston, K.A. Hemminger, N.D. Adkins (W&L 10), R.J. Else (W&L 11), J. Huss (W&L 10), B.A. Meekins (W&L 11), P.R. Cabe, and T.L. King Washington & Lee Universit, Department of Biolog U.S. Geological Surve, Leetown Science Center, Kearnesville WV
2 Stocking Hatcher Trout
3 Stocking Hatcher Trout Positives: Reduces fishing pressure on wild (native) populations. Restore populations where extirpated. More cost effective than translocation of fish f from intact populations. l Negatives: Non-native species / strain introductions Suppression of native stocks and genetic impacts
4 Genetic impacts of hatcher supplementation Poor fitness of hatcher lineages Homogenization of genetic structure among populations. Loss of functional diversit in native / wild stocks (e.g. local adaptation). Potentiall can hinder recover, persistence of wild stocks - e.g. Marie et al Molecular Ecolog v.19
5 Direct / Indirect Genetic Impacts Direct Results of interbreeding Reduced genetic variabilit among populations (homogenization) Outbreeding depression and reduced fitness of subsequent generations Indirect: Reduced effective population size (Ne) Increased inbreeding, inbreeding genetic drift
6 Brook trout stocking in VA mountain reservoirs
7 Brook trout stocking in VA mountain reservoirs Put-and-grow stocking program Unique, troph fisheries in wilderness settings Open questions: Dispersal into feeder streams Reproduction / naturalization of stocked strains Hbridization with native populations
8 Stud Objectives: 1)) Determine if stocked brook trout disperse into and inhabit tributaries. 2) Determine if natural reproduction of hatcher-origin fish occurs in tributaries. 3) Assess degree A d off introgression i i (interbreeding) occurring between h h hatcher and d native i strains. i
9 Stud Sites
10 Moore Creek Reservoir Historic water suppl impoundment for Lexington. Stocked with brook trout since Moore Creek (feeder tributar) did not hold brook trout prior to stocking. Code name: STO
11 Historic water suppl & flood control impoundments. Stocked with brook trout since Wild (putative native) brook trout populations in feeder streams. Code named: MIX-1 & MIX-2 Coles Run Reservoir (MIX-2) Mills Creek Reservoir (MIX-1)
12 Kenned Creek Unstocked wild (native) trout t stream. Reference native population for subwatershed. Code name: NAT
13 Stocking Histor All fingerlings stocked in reservoirs from a single brood stock lineage (Paint Bank hatcher,va). Onl exception: Fingerlings stocked in 2008 derived from Rome Lab strain. This cohort would not have spawned in time to contribute offspring to population b summer 2009.
14 Stud Objectives: Determine if stocked fish disperse p into and inhabit tributaries. Sample Moore Creek (STO; no previous wild population) for trout. Use genetic data to distinguish hatcher hatcher-strain strain from native trout in Mills Creek (MIX-1) and Coles Run (MIX-2). ( )
15 Stud Objectives: Determine if natural reproduction p of hatcher-origin fish occurs in tributaries. Compare genotpes of 2008 ear class with known hatcher strains (Paint Bank, Rome Lab) to determine if Paint Bank strain naturall produced offspring in 2008.
16 Stud Objectives: Assess degree g of introgression g occurringg between hatcher and native strains. Use assignment assignment tests tests to identif potential hbrids, and examine individual genotpes to determine likelihood of hbrid status.

28 Conclusions Hatcher fish do disperse p into streams from reservoirs, even where native populations p p exist. Not a big surprise.
29 Conclusions Hatcher fish do reproduce p in streams even where native populations exist, and can establish naturalized populations. p p Promising for re-establishment of extirpated stocks. Suggests fitness of hatcher stocks ma not be an impediment to interbreeding.
30 Conclusions Introgression g has been limited over the 20+ ear stocking histor in these sstems. Assortative mating? Richards et al. 2008
31 Conclusions Good news scenario: Direct impacts to native genotpe has been minimal. Potential issues: Naturalized hatcher strains could lead to future introgression g in native populations. p p
32 New Questions: Stream residents or lacustrine migrants? g Timing of upstream dispersal? Ratio of dispersers : staers? Exclusionar processes? Indirect genetic effects? Environmental factors, e.g. stream ph?
