The adispose fin is not useless, it changes the hydrodynamics of the trout's body making it able to hold its position in very fast water with much less effort.

The Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) look similar at first, but they are actually not closely related, the rainbow trout belongs to the pacific salmon and trout genus Oncorhynchus, while the brown trout belongs to the atlantic salmon and trout genus Salmo, despite the similarities between the genera Salmo and Oncorhynchus, these genera are not closely related and the similarities between the two genera are due to convergent evolution, they belong to entirely different tribes within the subfamily Salmoninae, Salmo belongs to the tribe Salmonini, which also includes the genera Salvelinus and Salvethymus, making atlantic trout and salmon (genus Salmo) more closely related to chars, while Oncorhynchus belongs to the tribe Oncorhynchini, which also includes the genera Brachymystax, Hucho, and Parahucho, making pacific trout and salmon (genus Oncorhynchus) more closely related to lenoks and taimens.

TROUT FISHING ROCKS BIG TIME

[@beebop9808]

I wish they had never introduced the rainbows and the browns to the Appalachian waters. I would have much preferred having the huge specks that were there prior to the late 50's. They were decimated as far up as the intruders could get reach them. Now you have to go up at least 3000 to 3500 feet where the terrain is steep enough to create a natural barrier. The waters are small and you'll hunt long and hard to find a fish over 12 inches. Still those little wild specks are more beautiful than any hatchery fish I've caught. Tough as nails, living in creeks so small that most of it runs underground. Find holes a foot wide just big enough to drop a line in and you'll find a fish in it.........

If you're going to post a vid, know the facts. Golden trout, are indigenous to a small portion of the Sierra Nevada range and are genetically similar to rainbow trout as they are a mutated strain with overlapping habitat to the rainbow trout that have attained genetic singularity and coloration by their confinement and diet in the ecosystem they inhabit. You posted a pic of what most people mistake for a golden trout and are, in fisherman's slang, referred to as Palamino or (tracer) trout. This is actually a genetic anomaly that occurs from a recessive gene carried in every rainbow trout that only exhibits in one of every 7,000 born. Fisheries biologists have managed to manipulate the recessive gene by a temperature controlled hatchery environment being applied to fish with genetic code that yields more abundant results of this anomaly and they have become quite popular as a target species and actually have a lighter colored and better tasting flesh then that of the average rainbow trout. Golden trout are not lemon yellow all over, only on the underside, and they have either a light brown to a deep blue-green colored back with dark spots with a watermelon hued lateral line.

[@atespeach5672]

But can they be pregnant?

[@fishguru73]

They are not a hybrid and are able to breed readily during usual spawning periods. There is, however, no more chance that the offspring will exhibit the physical characteristics of the genetically unusual parent. It has been found that rearing the eggs in a temperature controlled hatchery environment yields better results then selective breeding.

[@atespeach5672]

That's cool but not useful info for me, see, I'm an academic and as an academic I absolutely must know; can trout go through live pregnancies or no?

[@fishguru73]

Interestingly enough, yes they do. It all starts when, during the spawning season, male trout turn on Marvin Gaye albums and start smacking the lady trout on the tale. What follows is an all out orgy with multiple males tapping the same hos. You'll know when this is happening because there will be signs along streams and rivers warning adults with children under the age of eighteen that they can be arrested for exposing them to what the state deems "illicit pornography." Of course, nine months later the females give birth, but in the most amazing way. They jump up in the air yelling "I want a divorce and I'm taking half your stuff" and then proceed to full auto launch fry from the anus with such amazing speed that electrical arcs fly from their hind parts.

[@atespeach5672]

Excuse me are you mocking me? Because I think you are so I doubt you can source these claims. Do you have a source that proves Trout DON'T have live births?

[@mikejessmax]

Brook trout - fins edged in white and black, squigley lines known as vermiculations and red spots surrounded by blue halos. Bull trout - no black anywhere

[@primeribgaming2681]

You forgot another very common trout. A trout we have in Florida. Fine, seatrout aren’t the same.

[@MrBigmit37]

Some of these trouts look like Atlantic Salmon? Any distinguishing features to separate Atlantic Salmon from trouts?

[@spamatty2]

The mouth, is my biggest giveaway. And the fact that salmon MIGRATE! But, I dont expect anyone to shit about "trouts". My phone auto corrected that "word"

[@beebop9808]

Rainbows and Browns also migrate. More so the rainbows, called steelheads. They migrate to saltwater and stay out for a couple of years before returning to spawn but instead of dying they return to the sea till the next spawn. Because of the food resources they tend to get much bigger in size than their brothers and sisters that decided they don't care for the salt life. They don't have a place to put the bumper sticker anyway.

Eagles, actually. Co-written by Jackson Browne, IIRC

[@spamatty2]

Your "golden trout" is very incorrect. The gold COLOR trout is actually called a palomino trout. The only trout that is named golden is the state fish of California (only in one lake HIGH in the mountains as far as I know) AND Colorado. Maybe one or two other states. There is also a west coast "version" of the palomino, called the lightning trout.

[@thomasgarcia7176]

Thank you people always get this wrong

[@kayleydorey6798]

the state fish of colorado is actually a greenback cutthroat

[@zvsx]

Oh that’s a brook trout

[@dumbstuffdude5641]

What about speckled trout?

[@nathanmcchristie3997]

That’s a brook trout

[@CA2CAoutdoors]

You’re confusing a palomino trout and a golden trout!

[@Guide504]

Brook trout ...identifying feature....err....its a charr!!

[@tannerirving1734]

Your text is so fast we can read it.

[@kokaneekidchuck3282]

you should have shown the trout first then the name lol
