| Topic: |
Phylogeography, conservation and management, genetic population
structure. |
| Objective: |
To study the metapopulation structure of brown trout from the
eastern part of the range. |
| Design: |
To analyze the evolutionary relationships of Atlantic and Danubean
groupings of brown trout. |
| Methodology: |
Allozymes, mtDNA sequencing, mtDNA RFLP. |
| Trout population: |
Hatchery stocks, resident and anadromous populations. |
| Origin of samples: |
Countries of the Former Soviet UnionBaltic Sea Basin, Barents and
White Sea Basins, Black Sea Basin, Caspian Sea Basin, Aral Sea Basin. |
| Status: |
Started 1994, finished 1996. |
