Understanding a species’ genetic population structure is fundamental for determining its conservation and management units. Bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), a charr native to northwestern North America, are experiencing significant population declines across their range. In Alberta, bull trout are classified as Threatened under Alberta’s Wildlife Act, but knowledge of their genetic population structure is limited. We aimed to assess bull trout population structure in Alberta using genetic markers from a RADcapture SNP panel. Our sampling spanned 24 Hydrologic Unit Code 8 (HUC8) watersheds. One of our goals was to evaluate support for two previously-proposed bull trout Designatable Units (DUs) in Alberta: the Western Arctic DU and the Saskatchewan-Nelson DU. We found notable population structure and high differentiation (FST = 0.400) between these two DUs, suggesting two discreet populations that correspond to the northern and southern biogeographical zones of Alberta. We conducted ad hoc population differentiation analyses using ADMIXTURE, which revealed that bull trout have a hierarchical (or nested) population structure. Our results inform management of the species and suggest considering various scales of population structure to protect local adaptations and genetic diversity across relevant spatial scales.
