Fishes that evolutionarily demonstrated a fluvial life history expression and migrated to spawning and rearing habitat by using lotic corridors are increasingly impacted by fragmentation. The overall goal of this study was to identify the contemporary importance of main‐stem connectivity and tributaries for maintaining life history expression, population structure, and viability of a large metapopulation of Bonneville Cutthroat Trout (BCT) Oncorhynchus clarkii utah persisting in the highly fragmented Weber River, Utah. We used a multifaceted approach, including active sampling, mark–recapture, passive PIT tag detection, otolith microchemistry, and genetics. We collected BCT in all tributaries and the main stem, encountering age‐0 fish in three tributaries, indicating successful reproduction. In tributaries, the size structure was bimodal and consisted of smaller fish that were classified as resident and larger fish that were deemed to be fluvial, whereas all sizes and ages (age ≥ 1) were present in the main stem. We identified up to eight age‐classes; tributaries were dominated by ages 2 and 8, and the main stem was dominated by ages 2, 5, 6, and 7. Tributary BCT had lower growth rates than BCT in the main stem. We observed a surprising degree of fluvial life history expression, and fish also demonstrated very complex movement patterns across their life span. Average apparent survival (33%) was within the range estimated in similar studies for BCT, and the resight rate was best explained by angler management regulations. The fact that BCT in the Weber River and tributaries still reproduce successfully in most years and are still able to grow into large, fluvial fish suggests that connectivity must be occasionally available despite considerable fragmentation. Therefore, this metapopulation may need little further human intervention if barriers to fish passage can be removed, thereby improving connectivity, and it represents a high‐priority metapopulation for conservation, thus highlighting the utility of our approach.

邦纳维尔残酷鳟鱼残余种群的种群结构和生活史表达的多面重建:维持间歇性连接的含义

进化上表现出河流生活史表达的鱼类,并通过使用游廊走廊迁移到产卵和饲养的栖息地,越来越受到碎片化的影响。这项研究的总体目标是确定主干连通性和支流对于维持生活史的表达,人口结构以及大批邦纳维尔Cut鳟(BCT)Oncorhynchus clarkii utah的生存力的重要性。坚持在犹他州高度分散的韦伯河。我们使用了多方面的方法,包括主动采样,标记重新捕获,被动PIT标签检测,耳石微化学和遗传学。我们在所有支流和主干中收集了BCT,在三个支流中遇到了0岁鱼,表明繁殖成功。在支流中,大小结构是双峰的,由被归类为常驻的较小鱼和被认为是河流的较大鱼组成,而主茎中存在所有大小和年龄(≥1岁)。我们确定了多达八个年龄段;支流以2和8岁为主,主干以2、5、6和7岁为主。支流BCT的生长速率低于主干中的BCT。我们观察到河流生活史表达的惊人程度,鱼在整个生命中也表现出非常复杂的运动方式。平均表观生存率(33%)在类似的BCT研究估计范围之内,并且垂钓率最好由钓鱼者管理规定来解释。韦伯河和支流中的BCT多数年来仍能成功繁殖,并且仍然能够长成大型河流鱼类,这一事实表明,尽管存在许多零散的情况,但有时仍必须保持连通性。因此,如果可以消除鱼类通过的障碍,从而提高连通性,那么这种种群就不需要人类进一步干预了,它代表了高度优先的种群保护环境,从而突出了我们方法的实用性。平均表观生存率(33%)在类似的BCT研究估计范围之内,并且垂钓率最好由钓鱼者管理规定来解释。韦伯河和支流中的BCT多数年来仍能成功繁殖,并且仍然能够长成大型河流鱼类,这一事实表明,尽管存在许多零散的情况,但有时仍必须保持连通性。因此,如果可以消除鱼类通过的障碍,从而提高连通性,那么这种种群就不需要人类的进一步干预,并且代表了高度优先的种群保护环境,从而突出了我们方法的实用性。平均表观生存率(33%)在类似的BCT研究估计的范围内,并且垂钓率最好由垂钓者管理法规解释。韦伯河和支流中的BCT多数年来仍能成功繁殖,并且仍然能够长成大型河流鱼类,这一事实表明,尽管存在很大的支离破碎,但有时仍必须保持连通性。因此,如果可以消除鱼类通过的障碍,从而提高连通性,那么这种种群就不需要人类进一步干预了,它代表了高度优先的种群保护环境,从而突出了我们方法的实用性。韦伯河和支流中的BCT多数年来仍能成功繁殖,并且仍然能够长成大型河流鱼类,这一事实表明,尽管存在许多零散的情况,但有时仍必须保持连通性。因此,如果可以消除鱼类通过的障碍,从而提高连通性,那么这种种群就不需要人类进一步干预了,它代表了高度优先的种群保护环境,从而突出了我们方法的实用性。韦伯河和支流中的BCT多数年来仍能成功繁殖,并且仍然能够长成大型河流鱼类,这一事实表明,尽管存在许多零散的情况,但有时仍必须保持连通性。因此,如果可以消除鱼类通过的障碍,从而提高连通性,那么这种种群就不需要人类的进一步干预,并且代表了高度优先的种群保护环境,从而突出了我们方法的实用性。
