Samples of progeny from wild rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) homing to four widely separated Great Lakes watersheds, when incubated and reared under similar conditions and acclimated to 15 C, did not differ in tolerance to upper lethal temperatures. The size of the individual fish under test did not affect the resistance time. The similar response of the four samples to upper lethal temperatures complements the conclusions previously reported from phenotypic observations of wild and cultured trout from the same four watersheds.
