The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a species of trout native to cold-water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in North America and Asia. The steelhead (sometimes called steelhead trout) is an anadromous (sea-run) form of the coastal rainbow trout (O. m. irideus) or Columbia River redband trout (O. m. gairdneri) that usually returns to freshwater to spawn after living two to three years ...
A study was performed by Wang et al. (2019) [26] to identify more potential Mx genes that resided in rainbow trout. An additional six Mx genes were identified in that study, now named Mx4-9. They also concluded that the trout Mx genes were "differentially expressed constitutively in tissues" and that this expression is increased during development.
The DEC conducted its annual sampling of the rainbow trout spawning run on iconic Catharine Creek, offering clues for the start of trout season.
Depiction of Eagle Lake rainbow trout. Eagle Lake rainbow trout naturally spawn in Pine Creek which runs into Eagle Lake. The young trout spend the first one to two years of their life in the upper regions of the stream before swimming down into Eagle Lake. The natural environment of this tributary is shaded and gravelly. This natural spawning ...
The rainbow trout has a steelhead subspecies, generally accepted as coming from Sonoma Creek. The rainbow trout of New Zealand still show the steelhead tendency to run up rivers in winter to spawn. [2] In Australia, the rainbow trout was introduced in 1894 from New Zealand and is an extremely popular gamefish in recreational angling. [3]
Steelhead in 1924 illustration using the original taxonomic name, Salmo gairdneri The freshwater form of the steelhead is the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).The difference between these forms of the species is that steelhead migrate to the ocean and return to freshwater tributaries to spawn, whereas non-anadromous rainbow trout do not leave freshwater.
The Beardslee trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus f. beardsleei) is a local form of rainbow trout endemic to Lake Crescent in the Pacific north-western US state of Washington. Some sources treat them as a subspecies. Known to locals as "bluebacks", Beardslee trout are found nowhere else, and spawn in the Lyre River, near the
Introduced species such as brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, and lake trout can compete with cutthroat trout for food and resources, and can also prey on them. One extreme example can be seen in Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park, where introduced lake trout have caused a serious decline in Yellowstone cutthroat trout. [58]
