Title
Whirling Disease Research Projects
Description
Whirling disease is believed to be a major factor in the declines of wild rainbow trout populations across Colorado waters. Many North American native salmonid species have little to no resistance to this parasitic infection.
Thus, CPW is focusing research efforts on breeding whirling disease resistant rainbow trout strains, optimizing these strains for production in state hatcheries and for survival in the wild, and developing and managing wild brood stocks of whirling disease resistant strains.
