| Project Description: |
Bull trout are listed
as a Threatened species under the endangered Species Act of 1973
as amended and require protection. Lake trout, which are not native
to the system, have been introduced and threaten the bull trout
populations. The invasion of Glacier National Park lakes by lake
trout represents an ongoing threat; five of 14 lakes have already
been invaded. |
| |
|
| Project Outcome: |
The project documented
the extent of lake trout movement and status of bull trout populations
in lakes not known to contain lake trout in order to determine the
need for and potential placement of barriers to protect remaining
lake trout free waters. |
