State fish of Montana[edit]

There was an edit to change the state fish of Montana from the westslope/blackspotted cutthroat (O. c. lewisi) to the Yellowstone cutthroat trout (O. c. bouvieri). I found the state law which designated the state fish as the blackspotted cutthroat here. --BlueCanoe (talk) 02:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Cutthroat Trout is the Montana State Fish. Not merely the Westslope subspecies or the Yellowstone subspecies.

1-1-507. State fish. The blackspotted cutthroat trout, Salmo clarki, is the official Montana state fish.

You'll note the scientific name is Salmo clarki (now Oncorhynchus clarki) and does not specify any specific subspecies. Both the Westslope and Yellowstone cutts are prevalent in Montana.--Mike Cline (talk) 13:42, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I made changes to correct the scientific name (clarkii not clarki), and eliminate initial cap on westslope. See "Common and Scientific Names of Fishes from the United States, Canada, and Mexico, Sixth Edition" (AFS 2004)for spelling and correct caps. Terms like "species of special concern" do not have initial caps. See Scientific Style and Format by the Council of Scientific Editors for relative rules for capitalization. Nonnative is a closed compound, meaning 1 word, no hyphen. See the Merriam Webster dictionary for proper spelling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.7.212.97 (talk) 18:36, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
