Population genetics metrics for wild brook trout populations in North Carolina (1998-2016)
August 13, 2019
This data set includes information on 406 wild brook trout populations from across the State of North Carolina. Key genetics metrics on diversity and the extent of hatchery introgression are presented.
These data accompany the following article: Kazyak, D.C., Rash, Jacob, Lubinski, B.A., and King, T.L., 2018, Assessing the impact of stocking northern-origin hatchery brook trout on the genetics of wild populations in North Carolina: Conservation Genetics, v. 19, p. 207-219, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10592-017-1037-4.

Assessing the impact of stocking northern-origin hatchery brook trout on the genetics of wild populations in North Carolina
The release of hatchery-origin fish into streams with endemics can degrade the genetics of wild populations if interbreeding occurs. Starting in the 1800s, brook trout descendent from wild populations in the northeastern United States were stocked from hatcheries into streams across broad areas of North America to create and enhance fishery resources. Across the southeastern United States, many mi
