The One That Got Off

We especially love our native fresh water fish like the rainbow trout.

Rainbow trout are native to North American lakes and rivers and to Northeast Asia areas of the Pacific Ocean.

Because rainbow trout require very clean water to survive, they are usually seen as a health indicator of the eco-water system.

Here are a few interesting facts about the nutritious rainbow trout:

• Rainbow trout adults have a typical length between 20 to 30 inches and depending on their habitat, they can weigh between 1 to 20 pounds.
• Rainbow trout have a red stripe from the tail to the head, and have a silvery, grey or brown skin colour and have numerous small dark coloured spots.
• Rainbow trout has the scientific name Oncorhynchus mykiss and is from the family Salmonidae, the family of ray-finned fish that migrate to fresh water to spawn and either return to the ocean or further down stream after reproducing.
• Rainbow trout are also known as ‘steelheads’, ‘steelhead trout’, ‘red band trout’ and ‘ocean trout’.
• Rainbow trout has a diet of crustaceans, small fish, water insects, and fish eggs.
• Rainbow trout have been introduced into every continent except Antarctica, and as a result, have decreased native fish population in many countries.
• Rainbow trout can live to be 11 years, but their typical lifespan ranges from 4 to 6 years in the wild, and they always breed at the same place they were born.
• Rainbow trout are commonly farmed commercially with Chile being the largest producer.
