I was watching a lot of mountain fishing videos and i was wondering how the trout population can remain healthy and genetically diverse if no new trouts enter the gene pool?

Along with all the things talked about here, lack of genetic diversity does not mean the population is doing to die off.

Almost every animal population on small islands is cut off and incredibly inbred. Yet these populations are doing just fine.

Inbreeding is not ideal, but it’s far from a death sentence.
