1 Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife Fish Program, Science Division Genetics Lab 19 June 2003 To: Curt Leigh, WDFW Frank C. Shrier, PacifiCorp Diana Gritten-MacDonald, Cowlitz PUD From: Janet Loxterman Subject: Lewis River Oncorhynchus mykiss I evaluated the genetic structure of rainbow trout and steelhead stocks in the Lewis River watershed to determine 1) the genetic composition of stocks in the Lewis River watershed, 2) how the different stocks are related to one another, and 3) the most suitable steelhead stock for reintroduction into the upper Lewis River. To address these questions, native rainbow trout and steelhead were sampled from several localities in the Lewis River watershed (Table 1). For comparative purposes, these native samples were analyzed in conjunction with samples from various hatchery strains. The additional stocks included: Goldendale Hatchery rainbow trout, South Tacoma Hatchery rainbow trout, Spokane Hatchery rainbow trout, and Merwin Hatchery winter and summer run steelhead (Table 1). Microsatellite Data Collection and Analysis DNA was extracted from 837 tissue samples representing five rainbow trout subpopulations, six steelhead subpopulations, and three rainbow/steelhead subpopulations (Table 1). Nine microsatellite loci were assayed using fluorescently labeled primers following multiplex protocols developed in the WDFW Genetics Lab (Table 2). Genotypes were generated from the resulting PCR products using an Applied Biosystems (ABI) 3730 automated sequencer. Microsatellite alleles were sized using an internal GS 500 LIZ (ABI) size standard. I used GENEMAPPER (Version 3.0) software to collect and analyze the microsatellite data. General measures of within-population genetic diversity including average heterozygosity, allelic richness, and estimates of inbreeding were computed for each subpopulation using FSTAT (Version , Goudet 1995). Tests for Hardy-Weinberg proportions for each locus and genotypic linkage disequilibrium between all pairs of loci within each subpopulation were performed using GENEPOP (Version 3.3, Raymond and Rousset 1995) and statistical significance was evaluated using a Bonferroni correction of P-values (Rice 1989). To assess population structure, I computed several pairwise estimates of genetic differentiation between subpopulations. I generated estimates of genotypic population Page AQU 15-1

2 differentiation using GENEPOP 3.3. In addition, I used ARLEQUIN (Version 2.000, Schneider et al. 2000) to compute measures of population subdivision between all pairs of subpopulations. These estimates use allelic and genotypic frequency data to assess differences between subpopulation pairs. Statistical significance of F ST estimates was tested using 10,000 permutations and was evaluated using a Bonferroni correction of P- values (Rice 1989). I performed various jackknife assignments to evaluate the cohesiveness of the subpopulations. I used WHICHRUN (Version 4.1, Banks and Eichert 2000) to implement a jackknife procedure that removes each fish from the dataset, recalculates allele frequencies of the baseline subpopulations, and assigns the fish to the most likely group. In addition to jackknifing the baseline subpopulations, I used WHICHRUN to assign individuals from the three rainbow/steelhead subpopulations to the most likely baseline subpopulation to identify possible relationships between the mixed samples and the baseline subpopulations. Finally, genetic distance between subpopulation pairs was estimated using the Cavalli- Sforza and Edwards chord distance (Cavalli-Sforza and Edwards 1967) as performed in MICROSAT (Version 1.5, Minch et al. 1997). Distance was estimated first between all pairs of subpopulations and then for only the known pure rainbow trout and steelhead subpopulations (excluding the rainbow/steelhead subpopulations). The distance matrices (1000 bootstrap matrices) were used to construct neighbor-joining trees using the NEIGHBOR function as implemented in PHYLIP (Version 3.572, Felsenstein 1993). Bootstrap consensus trees were constructed using the CONSENSE option in PHYLIP. Trees were imported and drawn with their associated bootstrap values using the TREEVIEW program (Version 1.6.5, Page 1996). Results and Discussion All nine microsatellite loci were polymorphic with the number of alleles ranging from 8 (Ots-103) to 36 (One-108). Average heterozygosity ranged from in South Tacoma Hatchery rainbow trout (STcHat) to in Muddy River rainbow/steelhead (MRrbst). In general, the lowest heterozygosity values were found in the hatchery collections and the highest in two rainbow/steelhead subpopulations (Table 3). Lower allelic richness and heterozygosity in the hatchery subpopulations was not unexpected since hatchery populations tend to exhibit reduced genetic diversity. Higher values for the Lewis River rainbow/steelhead (LRrbst) and MRrbst subpopulations are likely related to these groups being a combination of different subpopulations and potentially different forms of O. mykiss. In addition, the increased estimates of heterozygosity and allelic richness in the MRrbst group may reflect the relatively small sample size (N = 33). Another within subpopulation estimate is F IS, which provides an indication of the degree of inbreeding in each subpopulation. Estimates of F IS for these subpopulations indicated significant levels of inbreeding in five subpopulations, one rainbow trout subpopulation, one steelhead subpopulation, and the three rainbow/steelhead subpopulations (Table 3). Like the estimates of allelic richness and heterozygosity, the significant F IS in the LRrbst Page AQU 15-2

3 group and MRrbst groups likely reflects the mixed nature of these subpopulations. While significant F IS in MRrbst and LRrbst may not indicate a significant level of inbreeding in these subpopulations, the significant F IS in Pine Creek rainbow trout (PinCrb), EF Lewis River winter-run steelhead (EFLRWR), and EF Lewis River rainbow/steelhead (96EFLR) suggests some degree of inbreeding is occurring in these subpopulations. Tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium revealed some deviations from expected proportions (Table 4). Significant deviations in the PinCrb, LRrbst, MRrbst, and 96EFLR are not surprising given the significant F IS estimates in these subpopulations. Similarly, tests for linkage disequilibrium between pairs of loci within each subpopulation indicated some significant disequilibrium (Table 5). However, except for the Merwin Hatchery winter-run steelhead (MHatWR) subpopulation, most subpopulations exhibiting significant disequilibrium had only one or two pairs of loci deviating from equilibrium. This pattern does not likely reflect physical linkage between loci since linkage disequilibrium was not present in all subpopulations. Rather, this pattern may result from small effective population sizes, admixture among populations, population bottlenecks, or merely by chance due to the large number of multiple comparisons (504). Since the deviations in Hardy-Weinberg proportions and linkage equilibrium were distributed among subpopulations and loci, all loci and subpopulations were retained for analysis. Assignment tests for the known subpopulations (excluding the rainbow/steelhead groups) provided information regarding the relationships among the different subpopulations (Table 6). All five hatchery subpopulations had greater than 75% of the fish assign back to the hatchery of origin. The PinCrb had a large proportion assign back to PinCrb (50%) with the remaining proportion assigning primarily to the GdnHat and Spokane Hatchery (SpoHat) subpopulations. This subpopulation, located above Swift Reservoir, has been supplemented with hatchery stocks, which is clearly reflected in the assignment test. Conversely, the NF Lewis River rainbow trout (NFLRrb) subpopulation does not reflect a large hatchery influence with 85% of the fish assigning back to the NFLRrb subpopulation and only one fish assigning to a hatchery subpopulation. In general, the rainbow trout subpopulations had a large proportion of individuals assigning to the original subpopulation with some individuals assigning to other rainbow trout subpopulations. The pattern among the steelhead subpopulations was less consistent. Most of the steelhead subpopulations cross-assigned with several other subpopulations (Table 6). The EF Lewis River summer-run steelhead (EFLRSR) had several individuals assigned to the Merwin Hatchery summer-run steelhead (MHatSR) subpopulation, suggesting a hatchery influence in this subpopulation. Similarly, the two Cedar Creek subpopulations (96CeWR and 03CeWR) had several fish cross-assign to the MHatWR subpopulation, as well as to one another. The remaining steelhead subpopulation (EFLRWR) was largely assigned back to EFLRWR with a large component assigned to the EFLRSR subpopulation. Page AQU 15-3

4 In addition to examining the relationships among the baseline subpopulations, assignment tests were performed using the three rainbow/steelhead subpopulations as unknown. The results of this analysis are quite revealing (Table 6). All three subpopulations had individuals assigned to several different subpopulations. Not surprisingly, fish from two of the three mixed subpopulations were assigned both to steelhead subpopulations and to rainbow trout subpopulations. Based on the assignment test, the LRrbst subpopulation has both rainbow trout and steelhead components with a large proportion of the LRrbst assigned to the GdnHat subpopulation, suggesting a hatchery influence. Conversely, the MRrbst and 96EFLR groups appear to have little hatchery influence. However, while the MRrbst was divided among rainbow trout and steelhead subpopulations, the 96EFLR subpopulation was largely assigned to the EFLRSR subpopulation with the remaining individuals assigned to other steelhead subpopulations. While the results from the assignment test provide some information about the relationships among the different subpopulations, examining the degree of population differentiation using allele frequency and genotype differences among the different subpopulations can further assess the strength of these interrelationships among subpopulations. Pairwise tests of population differentiation indicated strong population genetic structuring among these rainbow trout and steelhead subpopulations (Tables 7 and 8). Except for the two Cedar Creek steelhead subpopulations, all subpopulation pairs exhibit significant differences in allele frequencies (Table 7). Furthermore, 77 of 91 pairwise comparisons of genetic differentiation were statistically significant (Table 8). Twelve of the 14 comparisons that were not significant involved one of the rainbow/steelhead subpopulations. Like the allele frequency differences, the remaining non-significant comparisons of F ST involved the Cedar Creek subpopulations and the winter and summer run EF Lewis River subpopulations (EFLRSR and EFLRWR). Based on these results, there is little or no genetic exchange occurring among these subpopulations of rainbow trout and steelhead resulting in significant population subdivision among subpopulations. The neighbor-joining tree is another means to illustrate interrelationships among subpopulations (Fig. 1). Like the assignment test, both trees group PinCrb, GdnHat, and SpoHat together with strong bootstrap support (99%), reflecting the hatchery influence in this subpopulation. In addition, the EFLRSR subpopulation is strongly associated with the MHatSR subpopulation, and these subpopulations grouped with EFLRWR with 99% bootstrap support, indicating a hatchery influence in these subpopulations as well. There is also strong support for grouping the two Cedar Creek subpopulations (92% bootstrap support). The STcHat subpopulation is not grouped with any of the subpopulations suggesting this hatchery subpopulation is not largely used to supplement populations in the Lewis River watershed. A more interesting result is the NFLRrb subpopulation, which does not group with any of the hatchery subpopulations or the rainbow trout subpopulations (100% bootstrap support). In conjunction with the other analyses, this result strongly suggests that this rainbow trout subpopulation is genetically distinct and possibly represents a native stock. When the rainbow/steelhead subpopulations were incorporated into the neighbor-joining tree (Fig. 1b), the LRrbst and MRrbst group Page AQU 15-4

5 together with 78% bootstrap support, while the 96EFLR subpopulation has little bootstrap support. Conclusions In general, these subpopulations of rainbow trout and steelhead are genetically distinct with minimal gene flow occurring among different stocks. The results do reflect some hatchery influence in the Pine Creek rainbow trout subpopulation, as well as in the Cedar Creek and EF Lewis River steelhead subpopulations. Further, except for the hatchery subpopulations and the Pine Creek rainbow trout subpopulation, these subpopulations of rainbow trout and steelhead do not appear to be genetically depauperate indicating that they are currently not being strongly influenced by genetic drift or small effective population size. An important result, particularly relevant in management and possible supplementation efforts in the Lewis River watershed, is the apparent genetic distinction in the NF Lewis River rainbow trout. While this subpopulation represents a genetically distinct stock, it is unclear as to whether this stock represents a native rainbow trout population or a residualized steelhead stock that was landlocked when the dams were constructed. In either case, since resident rainbow trout and steelhead do interbreed (Currens et al. 1990, Leider et al. 1995, Busby et al. 1996), the introduction of non-native steelhead (i.e. Merwin Hatchery) into the NF Lewis River could compromise the genetic integrity of the NF Lewis River O. mykiss subpopulation. Although, using NF Lewis River O. mykiss as broodstock for any supplementation effort could mitigate this effect.
