The bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) is a char of the family Salmonidae native to northwestern North America.[4] Historically, S. confluentus has been known as the "Dolly Varden" (S. malma), but was reclassified as a separate species in 1980.[5] Populations of bull trout in the lower 48 states are listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act,[6] and bull trout overall are listed as vulnerable to extinction on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1] The Saskatchewan-Nelson Rivers population in Alberta, Canada is listed as threatened under the Species at Risk Act.[7]
