  • A long history of stocking hatchery coastal rainbow trout in the main Kern River has compromised the integrity of the gilberti subspecies.

  • The group including the golden trout and related forms discussed here consists of three recognized subspecies: the South Fork Kern and Golden Trout Creek golden trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita), the Little Kern River golden trout (O. m. whitei), and the Kern River rainbow trout (O. m. gilberti).

  • The three Kern subspecies aguabonita, whitei, and gilberti are most closely related to each other, and genetically all are part of the species O. mykiss.

  • Kern River rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss gilberti rainbow trout of Mexico, Oncorhynchus mykiss subspecies

  • And if “O. aguabonita” as a full species were to include both “O. a. aguabonita” and “O. a. whitei” (the Little Kern River golden trout), with the Kern River rainbow trout remaining classified as a subspecies of rainbow trout (O. m. gilberti), true relationships among the three subspecies would become even more distorted.
