Phenotypic convergence of artificially reared and wild trout ismediated by shape plasticity

Phenotypic plasticity can be viewed as the first level of defense of organism homeo-stasis against environmental stress and therefore represents the potential to deal withrapid environmental changes. Transitions between low complexity, artificial environ-ments and complex, natural habitats can promo...

description Phenotypic plasticity can be viewed as the first level of defense of organism homeo-stasis against environmental stress and therefore represents the potential to deal withrapid environmental changes. Transitions between low complexity, artificial environ-ments and complex, natural habitats can promote phenotypic plasticity. Here, we con-ducted an experimental introduction with juvenile brown trout to evaluate theplasticity of shape in response to a transition between contrasting environments. Wereleased 202 juvenile trout reared under hatchery conditions in a natural stream andanalyzed changes in shape and morphological variability after 5 months. A geometricmorphometrics approach based on 14 landmarks was used to compare changes inbody shape for 37 fish recaptured at the end of the experiment. A similar number ofhatchery and wild fish caught at the receptor stream were used as controls for shapein the two environments. After 5-months, fish showed significant change in shape,shifting from elongated to robust shapes, and affecting to the relative position of thecaudal peduncle.
