Egg Production in the Rainbow Trout

  • Chapter
Recent Advances in Aquaculture

Abstract

The rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri Richardson, which originates from the west coast of North America, was first described by Richardson in 1836 from specimens collected in the Columbia river. Initially, the rainbow trout was native to the coastal areas of the United States and Canada extending from Alaska as far south as Mexico. Aside from the head waters of the Peace and Athabaska Rivers in Canada and the Rio Cisa Grandes in Mexico it was not indigenous to areas east of the Continental Divide (MacCrimmon, 1971, 1972; Behnke, 1972, 1979).
