Talk:Greenback cutthroat trout

FishBase.org
Wow, this fish isn't even in FishBase yet! I'll post more information as soon as I find some other resources. --Ginkgo100 talk · contribs 20:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Study says Ooops, we ought to include
This AP article (found at the Boston Globe's website) says a recent study determined that 5 of 9 populations thought to be of this species are Colorado River cutthroat trout. The AP article references a scientific article. We should probably incorporate to some extent, but it might be better to let the dust settle a few days/weeks so the NPOV way to incorporate can become more clear.

 * The matter is rather clear here. The paper is published in Molecular Ecology and the results show that the trouts for the reintroduction project (which apparently were never thoroughly tested for their identity) were actually Colorado River cutthroat trout (or maybe hybrids between these subspecies). I have check-tagged the images as we can't be sure it's the genuine fish. What remains to be found out is the original paper (not very high on my priority list, but I will eventually add it if nobody else does first) and what genotyping mehtod exactly was applied. For exammple, if mtDNA was tested, the specimens might be hybrid stock. If nDNA haplotype fingerprinting was used, we can be rather sure that they were actual Colorado River cutthroats. And so on.

Removed incorrect text
This unreferenced section is incorrect, so I removed it from the article. The mascot of Colorado College is and has always been the tigers. I think there was a student vote to change the mascot to the cutthroat sometime in the 1990's but the administration overruled the vote and the mascot was never changed. --BlueCanoe (talk) 20:06, 22 April 2009 (UTC) ==Contemporary Context== The greenback cutthroat trout is a legendary mascot to the Liberal Arts school of The Colorado College, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It has been the mascot for over 100 years and, as of 2006 mascot pollings, it has been ranked the 24th most influential mascot of all time.
