Historically, cutthroat trout was considered one species (Oncorhynchus clarkii).[2] [9] However, recent genetic, taxonomic, and geologic [10] evidence has determined that cutthroat trout should be divided into four species, with each (except for the coastal cutthroat) having multiple subspecies corresponding to the evolutionary lineages [11] found within major river basins.
