Article Synopsis
- Placer Creek, a Colorado tributary, experienced a decline in its native Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout population due to invasion by infected Brook Trout and the outbreak of whirling disease (WD).
- New management strategies were implemented, including constructing barriers, eliminating existing fish populations, and introducing non-susceptible Tubifex tubifex worm species to combat the parasite.
- By 2016, extensive testing showed no signs of M. cerebralis infection in the trout, demonstrating the success of the restoration efforts in Placer Creek.
