PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA. Rainbow Trout, Fish Pin, 2 inches,
Rainbow trout, scientifically known as Oncorhynchus mykiss, is a popular species among freshwater game fish enthusiasts. Native to cold-water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in North America and Asia, this species has been widely introduced to non-native habitats due to its popularity in recreational fishing and aquaculture. Known for its vibrant coloration, which includes a distinctive pink stripe running the length of its body and shimmering silver scales, the rainbow trout is a favorite subject in wildlife art and photography. The fish thrives in clear, cold streams and lakes, making it an indicator species for water quality and ecosystem health. Its diet primarily consists of insects, small fish, and crustaceans, making it a key player in its natural food chain. The lifecycle of the rainbow trout varies; some populations are anadromous, migrating to the ocean to mature before returning to freshwater to spawn, while others remain landlocked in lakes and rivers, contributing to diverse ecological interactions within their habitats.
