Genetic screening and comparison of brown trout populations in Austria.
Abstract
This project will provide the first broad-based genetic evaluation of brown trout (Salmo trutta) in Austrian rivers and hatcheries. Emphasis will be placed on determining where and to what extent autochthonous ¿native¿ populations exist and a test of current hypotheses about the evolutionary relationship between Danubian drainage fish and other European populations. A combination of analytical techniques using mitochondrial DNA, nuclear DNA, and protein gel-electrophoresis will utilize the full range of current available technology and enable comparison with results of previously published data on brown trout elsewhere in Europe.
