Climate change influence on brook trout populations in the Central Appalachians - Andrew et al. 2022
-
We used a 18-year brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) data set with samples across a ~4800 km2 spatial area in the Central Appalachian Mountains, combined with PRISM climate data at the HUC-12 subwatershed level to investigate temporal trends of each. his work provides long-term evidence to help understand the dynamics of these sentinel headwater fish populations as they experience a changing climate.

SENSITIVITY AND VULNERABILITY OF BROOK TROUT POPULATIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE
-
We directly measured paired air and
water temperatures in watersheds (N = 77) containing reproducing populations of brook trout in
Virginia. We found that paired air and water temperature relationships are highly variable among
patches but are a useful dataset to classify sensitivity and vulnerability of existing brook trout
patches. We developed a classification system using sensitivity and vulnerability metrics that
classified sampled brook trout habitats into four categories (High Sensitivity- High Vulnerability
(51.9%); High Sensitivity-Low Vulnerability (10.4%); Low Sensitivity-High Vulnerability (7.8%);
Low Sensitivity-Low Vulnerability (29.9%). Our direct measurement approach identified potential
refugia for brook trout at lower elevations and with higher air temperatures than previous larger
scale modeling efforts.

Development of Genetic Baseline Information to Support the Conservation and Management of Wild Brook Trout in North Carolina
-
Kazyak, D.C., Lubinski, B.A., Rash, J.M., Johnson, T.C., King, T.L. 2021. After centuries of declines, there is growing interest in conserving extant wild populations of Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis and reintroducing Brook Trout populations of native ancestry. A population genetic baseline can enhance conservation outcomes and promote restoration success. Consequently, it is important to document existing patterns of genetic variation across the landscape and translate these data into an approachable format for fisheries managers. We genotyped 9,507 Brook Trout representing 467 wild collections at 12 microsatellite loci to establish a genetic baseline for North Carolina, USA.

Restoration of brook trout across their native range using fish toxicants and electrofishing: are we successful ecologically and socially?
-
PDF of PowerPoint presentation by Matt Kulp, fishery biologist with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and coauthors, reviewing historic and contemporary restoration efforts to restore brook trout using toxicants and electrofishing. Matt surveyed state and agency biologists about projects to remove invasive species and replace brook trout. This presentation and associated database describe the outcomes and factors in success and failures.

Georgia Stream Crossing Handbook
-
This handbook is intended to encourage the proper design and implementation of all new stream crossings in Georgia to maintain stream connectivity, improve stream health, provide for public safety, improve water quality, and make communities more resilient. Originally published in 2012, this 2021 update represents the work of 18 authors drawn from State and Federal Agencies, NGOs, academia, and private firms.
