When I get there I will give more details but I saw bits and pieces yesterday. Before they were classified as O Mykiss they were classified in the Salmonoid family and it caused a bit of a stir because Salmon spawn and die while Trout do not die following the spawn. That's been part of the problematic taxonomic rank issue with these fish. The same, similar and yet different.

Correct, I should have specified Pacific............but the Pacific were needed since the Atlantics became extinct by 1872 in LO. Remember O Mykiss were found among the Pacific Salmon and then eventually they were both propagated east!

Another quiz:-

In its first year of operation (1879), Stones trout hatchery on the McCloud River cultured more than how many eggs?

In 6 years the US Fish Commission had propagated rainbows to how many of the 38 states in the union?

Who was the 1st to describe rainbow trout to a western audience?  Hint:- Great Northern Expedition-Naturalist


In 1792 what became the 1st official Latin name for the rainbow trout? Hint: 2 words......... it remained that way for about 127 yrs.

The difficulty of the taxonomic task can be seen by this fact........."But over the next century, other taxonomists took up the challenge where Stone left off. They split the rainbows into as many as 16 different species or combined them into a single species, depending on whether they were splitters or lumpers." (look up that phrase)

When (what year) did the new Latin name for the species known also as the rainbow trout change to the present form?

What is the technical term to describe a species that spawns more than once and doesn't die afterward?

What is the technical term to describe a species that spawns only once and then dies?

True or false # 1-5


1).......fishing was primarily a rich, ruling class, aristocratic gentlemans sport from the late 19th to early 20th century?


2).........Industrialization was a major factor for private fishing clubs to spring up?


3)..........Trout populations nearby urban areas became fish wastelands forcing anglers to find them elsewhere?


4)...........The Connetquot river is still known as a place where "catching" not fishing is done.


5) ...........trout were viewed much differently than other fish such as catfish.



6) Name the "game" fish and other fish constituted as "rough or course."

The answer for #1-5 are all TRUE.

6) Obviously, Trout were "game" fish and so were Salmon. Catfish were viewed with disdain as scavengers that lurked in stagnant and unclean water. They were the lowest of low on the spectrum so much so many didn't even want to handle them but would kick them back into the water.
