This Recovery Plan for the greenback cutthroat trout (greenback) was developed t
by the Greenback Cutthroat Trout Recovery Team, an interagency group of
scientists operating under the sponsorship of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife ,
Service.
The original Greenback Recovery Plan was written in 1978, revised in 1983 and
is superseded by this Plan. This latest edition contains updated information e
and recovery objectives completed by researchers since 1973.
The Plan is organized into four sections:
I. Introduction - Historic distribution, type specimens, taxonomy,
current distribution, reasons for decline, habitat requirements,
reproduction, food and feeding, size and growth, disease and
parasites, sensitivity to Ph, heavy metals, management practices, '
fish culture, stocking and angling.
II. Recoverv - Recovery objectives, and tasks considered vital to the
successful recovery of the greenback. '
III. ImAlementation Schedule - An itinerary of scheduled recovery tasks
assigning agency responsibility and estimated costs.
IV. Figures, Tables and Aonendices

We sincerely hope that this document will be used by agencies involved with
greenback cutthroat trout management to coordinate their efforts to most ,
effectively work toward our common goal.
Revisions of this Plan will occur as often as is feasible and appropriate.
