the lake trout is a glacial form of the migratory coaster trout Explanation: The coaster brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) is a potamodromous form of brook trout that spends part of its life in the nearshore waters of the upper Great Lakes. http://www.fws.gov/midwest/fisheries/coaster-brook-trout.htm... cccccccccccccccccccccccccccc Here in our part of the northeast, we have both a coaster lake trout which lives most of its life in Lake Superior, and we also have a stream brook trout that live in the headwaters and upper reaches of streams. http://www.wtip.org/drupal/content/brook-trout-spawn-cold-st... cccccccccccccccccc A population of brook trout native to Lake Superior, which run into inflowing rivers to spawn, are called "coasters". Coasters tend to be larger than most other populations of brook trout, often reaching 2 to 3 kg in size. Many coaster populations have been severely damaged by overfishing and by habitat alterations, especially by the construction of hydro-electric power dams, on their inflowing streams. In Ontario and Michigan, efforts are under way to restore and recover coaster populations. http://www.paramountcaviar.com/encyclopedia-detail.cfm?encyc... ccccccccccc Phylogeographic structure of brown trout Salmo trutta in Britain and Ireland: glacial refugia, postglacial colonization and origins of sympatric populations. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20738710 ccccccccccccccccccccccccc Distribution of presumed major lineages (I, II, III and IV) of brown trout during the latest glacial maximum (about 13000 years BP, indicated by dashed line) based ... http://www.nature.com/hdy/journal/v82/n1/full/6884470a.html ccccccccc - Post-glacial colonization of brown trout, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1095-8649.1989.... |
