New study of the importance of small coastal streams for sea trout in southwest England

This southwest of England is characterized by many small coastal streams with a few larger river catchments. Nonetheless, despite their small size, many of these streams are home to genetically distinct populations of trout/sea trout. At a regional level, genetic structuring of contemporary trout populations in the region has been influenced by a combination of events, including the last Ice Age and also more recent human activities over the last millennium.
