SALMON TROUT Meaning and Definition

  1. Salmon trout refers to a species of fish known for its unique characteristics and habitat. The term “salmon trout” can be used to describe two different types of fish, both belonging to the same family, Salmonidae. One type is the brown trout (Salmo trutta), which is a freshwater fish native to Europe and Western Asia. The other type is the sea trout (Salmo trutta trutta), also known as the sea-run brown trout or anadromous trout.

    The brown trout, typically found in rivers and streams, is known for its silver or brownish coloration with spots scattered over its body. It possesses a streamlined body and a slightly forked tail, which aids in its swift movements.

    On the other hand, the sea trout is a more migratory species found in the coastal areas of the North Atlantic Ocean. It spends part of its lifecycle in freshwater habitats like rivers before migrating to the sea, where it grows and feeds on marine resources before returning to freshwater to reproduce.

    Both types of salmon trout are highly sought after by anglers and prized for their sporting qualities. They are known for their acrobatic leaps, strength, and challenging behavior when hooked. Furthermore, salmon trout are also esteemed for their delicate and flavorful meat, making them popular targets for commercial and recreational fishing.

  2. A sea-trout, a migrating fish, next in value to the salmon.
