DO NOT COMMIT!!! Please do not commit until all subspecies' swaps have been conducted and the consensus of the fish community is to go ahead with the split.

  • Coastal Cutthroat (clarkii)
  • Westslope Cutthroat (lewisi) - with 8 undescribed subspecies
  • Lahontan Cutthroat (henshawi) -- with 2 undescribed subspecies
  • Black-spotted Cutthroat (virginalis) -- with 3 undescribed subspecies
