  • Lake Trout Salvelinus Namaycush
    Appendix A: Fish Lake Trout Salvelinus namaycush Federal Listing State Listing Global Rank State Rank S5 High Regional Status Photo by NHFG Justification (Reason for Concern in NH) Native populations of lake trout were originally restricted to 6 water bodies in New Hampshire, though stocking success has resulted in self‐sustaining populations in several other water bodies (Scarola 1987). Lake trout face several habitat and non‐habitat related threats. Anthropogenic eutrophication decreases dissolved oxygen at depths where trout take refuge from summer heat (Kelso et al. 1996). Thus, the species may be an indicator for the water quality of oligotrophic lakes (Halliwell et al. 2001). A healthy population of forage fish is important for the persistence of lake trout in a given lake. The introduction of nonindigenous fish may alter the food web in a lake ecosystem, reducing the amount of prey available to lake trout (Pazzia et al. 2002). Lake trout were rated second and sixth, respectively, for species preference in an ice fishing and an open‐water angler survey (Duda and Young 1996). Lake trout populations, especially low density, self‐sustaining populations, have been found to be vulnerable to angling pressure (Towne 1959). As a coldwater species, lake trout are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, especially in smaller waterbodies with a marginal supply of coldwater habitat (Thill 2014). Distribution Lake trout are widely distributed throughout northern North America including much of Canada (with the exception of some Hudson Bay Drainages), Alaska, the Great Lakes Region, the northwestern states, and northern New England. Populations are found in several oligotrophic waterbodies in New Hampshire.
