Endemic softmouth trout solinka (Salmo obtusirostris salonitana)

Mekousna pastrva (Salmo obtusirostris salonitana) je endemska pastrva s izvornim staništem u rijeci Jadro. Dio populacije naknadno je prebačen i u rijeku Žrnovnicu, gdje i danas obitava. Pripada u porodicu Salmonidae. Kao i ostale podvrste roda Salmo obtusirostris, ograničena je na usko područje rasprostranjenosti te i najmanji utjecaji na njezino stanište imaju veliko djelovanje na malu populaciju. Populacije mekousnih pastrva neprestano bivaju ugrožene mnogim faktorima. U vodama gdje uz mekousnu nalazimo i potočnu pastrvu uočeno je postojanje hibrida. Pomoću genetskih markera definirana je genska struktura populacija endemske mekousne pastrve iz Jadra i Žrnovnice. Solinka je definirana kao prirodna hibridna vrsta, nastala kao posljedica davne hibridizacije izvornoga oblika mekousne pastrve (S. o. oxyrhynchus) s naprednijom potočnom pastrvom (S. trutta).Endemic soft-muzzled trout (Salmo obtusirostris salonitana) inhabit the Jadro River, near Split. Part of the population has been translocated to the Žrnovnica River and belongs to the Salmonidae family, genus Salmothymus. It has a very restricted distribution, so any interference with its habitat has a negative influence on this small population. Soft-muzzled trout populations are constantly threatened by many factors. In waters where soft-muzzled lives beside thetrout, the existence of hybrids has been recorded. Using genetic markers population structure of endemic soft-muzzled trouts from Jadro and Žrnovnica rivers has been defined. Solinka is defined as a naturally brid species, the result of ancient hybridization of original shape soft-muzzled trout (S. ooxyrhynchus) with more advanced brown trout (S. trutta)
