The reproductive activities of sympatric brook (Salvelinus fontinalis) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) in a Minnesota stream were documented on a regular basis for 3 years to determine whether behavioral interactions between these species might influence their spawning activities and success. The spawning seasons of brook and brown trout consistently overlapped by 2–4 weeks, during which time nearly 10% of all sexually active females were simultaneously courted by males of both species. Male brook trout attempted to hybridize most frequently; however, both our behavioral observations and population census suggested that these fish had little success. There was also strong evidence of frequent redd superimposition, particularly by the later spawning and larger brown trout. Analysis of redd site habitat demonstrated that these species had overlapping preferences. Although it seems likely that attempted hybridization and redd superimposition work to the disadvantage of both species, the effects of these activ...
