About Rainbow Trout

Rainbow trout ((Oncorhynchusmykiss)) is a species of freshwater fish native to North America, known for its silvery body, black spots, and a pink or reddish stripe along its sides. It is a popular game fish that eats insects, crustaceans, and small fish and has been introduced to many parts of the world, including the UK. Some populations are anadromous, meaning they migrate from the sea to freshwater to spawn and are called steelhead.
