Greenback Cutthroat Trout

Caption

CU-Boulder professor Andrew Martin and Senior Research Associate Jessica Metcalf release endangered greenback cutthroat trout into Zimmerman Lake west of Fort Collins, Colo. on Aug 8. Their research identifying the 'true' greenback cutthroat trout native only to the South Platte River basin has spurred a new recovery effort involving state and federal wildlife agencies to bring Colorado's official state fish back home to its historical haunts.
