Brook Trout And Climate Change
By Turner Sasina
Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis)
StenothermDark base coloration , scattered small red
spots, with red pectoral, pelvis and anal fins, vermications
Brook Trout Native Range
HabitatPrefer clear cold water bodies that are often
associated with mountain streams
Physiological Effects of Warmer TemperatureExotherms, meaning temperature effects
many aspects of a fish’s functions.Functions including growth, respiration,
reproduction etc…
Temperature Tolerances
Physiological
Habitat LossRange from roughly 20 to 40% from climate
change alone.
Habitat Loss
Invasive SpeciesStenotherms vs. Eurytherms Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout and other
piscivorous fish speciesInvasive species are stocked for sport fishing
activitiesBrook Trout are considered invasive
Invasive Species
Current Management Some management to reclaim habitat lost
from land changes in the water shedsMeans include replanting riparian zones,
introducing Brook Trout back to viable habitats that were lost
Decrease habitat fragmentation
Management for Climate ChangeA more active approachFacilitating migration
Management
Future for Brook TroutWill more than likely require more active
approaches to preserve the species in the uncertain future of climate change
Reduce the stocking of non native speciesMore research into methods of management
in regard to climate change and surveys of watersheds.
