- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Salmo trutta
- Average Weight: 44 - 60 lbs.
- Location & Habitat: Brown Trout are native to Europe and have been introduced all over the world. They were introduced into Tasmania from England in 1864. The Brown Trout spawn only if there is sufficient water velocity and depth over suitable gravel beds. Most lakes and rivers in Tasmania maintain their own populations, but in some cases, waters are stocked solely for angling purposes. Brown trout form the basis of an extensive recreational fishery contributing millions of dollars to the Tasmanian economy annually.
- Biology: The spawning behaviour of brown trout is similar to that of the closely related Atlantic salmon. A typical female produces about 900 eggs per pound of body weight at spawning. Brown trout can live to ages of 20 years. But as with the Atlantic salmon, a high proportion of males die after spawning, and probably fewer than 20% of anadromous female kelts recover from spawning. The migratory forms grow to significantly larger sizes for their age due to abundant forage fish in the waters where they spend most of their lives. Brown trout are active both by day and by night and are opportunistic feeders.
- Physical Description: Brown Trouts are an elongated thick-bodied fish. They have a dorsal fin high on their back, and further forward than the pelvic fins. They have an adipose fin, a lateral line and small scales. The mouth extends back past the eyes.The colour is highly variable depending on their age, habitat and life history. Lake populations are generally silver, but often show darker colouration ranging from brown or dark green along the back, with dark spots. River populations are usually darker and often have bright red spots surrounded by pale halos, and sea-run populations are usually silver all over. Spawning fish become darker on the sides and back, with a yellow belly.
