1) For
each resident, the probability of its genotype being derived from each
genetic baseline population is shown.Despite the genetic baseline including all major divisions of
steelhead observed, resident trout samples were only assigned to the Naches
River and Roza Dam populations.
2)
These results suggest that the resident trout samples collected in the
Teanaway River in 2006 are indistinguishable from the Naches River and Roza
Dam steelhead, which is consistent with a high level of interbreeding between
residents and steelhead.
