Description
Mountain whitefish (Prospoium williamsoni) are native to the Yampa and White River drainages in Colorado. Mountain whitefish population declines have recently been reported in Colorado in the Yampa River and its tributaries. The apparent onset of population declines in the decade after introduction of M. cerebralis in these locations raised the question of the role of whirling disease in these losses.
