If it's successful, the effort would avoid having to list the golden trout as a federally threatened or endangered species.


Recent DNA testing by University of California, Davis, researchers found such alarming interbreeding among all remaining populations that there is a real possibility of extinction, according to the assessment and recovery strategy to be released Friday.


"This species has been in trouble for years," said Mike Wintemute, a spokesman for the California Department of Fish and Game. "We're trying to turn back the clock.""
