Figure 15. Genetics Code Rck-List 



Because we want to narrow our focus to only those populations tliat are genetically 

 pure, we will select: 



* Genetically pure determined by electrophoresis; 



* Especially valuable genetically pure trout with contaminating species; 



* Genetically pure, could be invaded by contaminating species; and 



* 99% pure, considered pure for management purposes by highlighting each 

 selection and pressing Enter. A check mark will appear next to the four selections as 

 they are chosen. When selections are complete, press Ctrl and Enter at the same time 

 and you will return to the menu shown in Figure 11. Return to the Main Menu by 

 using the Return to the Previous Menu selection on each menu. 



At this point, verify the search to insure query correctness and then use Step 3 to 

 produce the report to the screen. Change the title of the report to include a second line 

 stating Genetically Pure Populations Only. The program may take longer to run now 

 because of the second filter placed on it; it is now looking for not only Westslope 

 Cutthroat populations, but only those that are genetically pure. Allow the program to 

 produce a few screens of records before canceling the report. 



We will put a final restriction on our query to reduce the number of records to a 

 certain geographic area; in this case, all the streams in the Missouri headwater 

 drainages. From the Main Menu, press Step 1 and the menu in Figure 2 will appear. 

 Highlight Location and a menu similar to that found in Figure 16 will appear.
