Chas-
Since you seem to be in the know on Bull trout and Dollies. Can you

clarify
something for me?
I have always been told that the only difference between a Dolly and a

Bull
was that the Dolly was "sea run"
(similar to the rainbow/steelhead)
Are there actual detectable genetic differences?
I have never heard of the anal adipose alignment identification what are

the
other identifiers but it seems a very sketchy
way of calling a bull a bull and then implanting it?


They are two different species. The Dolly Varden is Salvelinus malma malma
and the Bull Trout is Salvelinus confluentus. This web site gives a
description of the differences:

Oh bull****. This site is racist! A bull is a dolly and a dolly is a
bull!
