Saving Native Yellowstone Cutthroat By Killing Non-Native Rainbows: Idaho To Use Rotenone In Teton River Canyon
Idaho Fish and Game is launching a conservation project this fall to protect native Yellowstone cutthroat trout in the Teton River Canyon. On Oct. 8, biologists will conduct a rotenone treatment on the lower 5.5 miles of Badger Creek to reduce non-native rainbow trout that pose a threat to the genetic integrity of native cutthroat.
