The European trout (Salmo trutta species complex) is genetically very diverse consisting of five distinct mitochondrial lineages that probably originated in the Pleistocene. Here, we describe a novel pyrosequencing protocol to generate two short sequence reads from the mitochondrial control region, which allow the unambiguous identification of all five lineages. The approach was found to be easily transferable between laboratories and should be a valuable tool for the assessment of genetic diversity in trout. Pyrosequencing-based assays for molecular species identification are expected to be generally useful whenever multiple positions in a short DNA sequence need to be assessed.
