| Dramatic fluctuations in weights, lengths, numbers, and condition of a native population of cutthroat trout in Gance Creek, Elko County, Nevada, are described. Such fluctuations and ability to survive under a highly changeable environment are presented as ecological evidence for taxonomists to consider in possibly separating the Lahontan Basin native cutthroat trout into two subspecific taxa: Lahontan and Humboldt cutthroat trout. |
