These conditions have likely enhanced
rainbow trout spawning and population
numbers, leading to massive expansion of hybridization with westslope cutthroat

Here, we used parentage analysis with multilocus microsatellite markers to measure how varying levels of genetic introgression with non-native
rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) affect reproductive success (
number of offspring per adult) of native westslope cutthroat
trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi) in the wild.
The male with 75 per cent
rainbow trout admixture mated with four known non-hybridized female cutthroat
trout and produced the highest
number of assigned juvenile offspring.
