Restoration and Recovery of Lahontan Cutthroat trout in the Tahoe Basin

In Lake Tahoe working with our partners we will focus on developing a self-sustaining lacustrine population in Lake Tahoe by utilizing prioritized tributaries for spawning and reproduction of reintroduced Pilot Peak LCT. Several identified studies (Phases 2-7) will provide information on reintroduced LCT by using localized dispersal release sites, conducting telemetry on reintroduced LCT to determine seasonal and diel (24-hour) vertical-horizontal distribution and movements of different size classes, near-shore-offshore distribution of LCT during the first growing season and telemetry for understanding nonnative lake trout population size, distribution, seasonal and temporal movements
