A phylogeographic survey of brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) in Algonquin Park, Ontario based upon mitochondrial DNA variation

Abstract

Forty‐nine populations of brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) from Algonquin Park lakes and rivers were analysed for mitochondrial DNA variation. Haplotypic distributions of wild fish in the Algonquin Park region of Ontario, Canada, predominantly reflect postglacial dispersal patterns into the region in spite of substantial hatchery plantings. Two major refugial groupings colonized this region. Northern and eastern watersheds (Amable du Fond, Bonnechere, and northern Petawawa), were colonized primarily by haplotype 1 fish (B1 phylogenetic assemblage), while Oxtongue River, southern Petawawa, and York River populations were colonized predominately by fish from the B2 and A mtDNA phylogenetic assemblages. Fish with haplotypes in the A and B2 phylogenetic assemblages are common in the Lake Huron drainage. All watersheds in the Park drain into the Ottawa River, except the Oxtongue drainage (part of the Lake Huron watershed). This suggests that early glacial outflows south of the Algonquin Park region (Kirkfield‐Trent) may have been colonized by fish that initially invaded ‘Ontario island’ (south‐western Ontario), while fish which invaded northern Algonquin Park were derived from a different refugial grouping(s) which may have involved colonization both up the Ottawa River drainage, and/or from a more westerly (Mississippian) refugial grouping. A majority of the populations in Algonquin Park have been planted with hatchery reared brook charr since the 1940s. The Hills Lake or ‘Domestic’ strain was used almost exclusively for these plantings. Comparisons of mtDNA haplotypic distributions in hatchery and wild fish suggests that hatchery females had minimal spawning success and/or their progeny had poor survivorship in the wild.
