Protecting amphibian populations while restoring fish populations

Abstract/Summary

In Yellowstone National Park, four species of non-native trout were introduced. have become established, and threaten the survival of indigenous fish. A program to remove non-native trout has begun, but techniques used to remove these fish also threaten amphibians. Recommendations are made to eliminate or reduce the threat to amphibians, including making managers aware of the presence of amphibians, and offering strategies for reducing amphibian vulnerability to fish removal techniques.
