Abstract
In conservation genetics, the importance of understanding how historical and contemporary processes have contributed to geographic patterns of genetic structure is key to preserving diversity. In New York State there are currently eleven remaining known populations of native brook trout (Salvelnius fontinalis) that inhabit the watersheds for which they are named. These populations are known as "heritage strains", and are currently managed under regulations set by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
