Following the retreat of the last ice sheets lake trout recolonized their present range from multiple refugia. Populations in Boreal Shield lakes are descended from at least six refugial groups with the greatest contributions from Mississippian and Atlantic sources. Secondary contact among these separate lineages was a significant source of genetic diversity enabling adaptation to local environments. Suprisingly little is known about the diversity and adaptive structure of inland lake trout populations. There is some evidence of local adaptation among inland populations and stocking strains as well as differential fitness between native and stocked lake trout. 2004 by CRC Press LLC However many issues regarding lake trout adaptation and fitness remain unresolved. In addition the biological characteristics of lake trout make them extremely vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic disturbances which present significant management challenges to ensure their persistence. Lake trout have often been described as a glacial relict a holdover from the Ice Age that lives primarily in deep cold-water habitats. The species has certainly been intimately associated with glacial events and is perhaps better adapted to the past than the present. The fascination of anglers and biologists with lake trout may in part stem from the prehistoric .
