Trout lives in rivers and streams mainly in mountainous areas, as they prefer clean waters rich in oxygen. Such fish is considered the most valuable in nutrition because of the surprisingly delicate taste and ecological purity of its meat. The extreme sensitivity of trout to water purity is used to assess the quality of water purification. The fish are launched to live in purified waters; in case of poor-quality cleaning, the trout dies.
Trout is also bred in special valley reservoirs and fish farms in order to obtain valuable meat and caviar. Some species do well in seawater. This fish feeds mainly on animal food - the larvae of various insects, worms, fry of other fish. Adults can feed on small fish and frogs.
The body of the trout is flattened on the sides, the muzzle is short, the color of the scales varies greatly - from olive green on the back to greenish yellow on the sides, with black and red or white spots surrounded by a bluish border. The abdomen is whitish-gray, sometimes with a coppery sheen. In general, the color of a trout can be darker or lighter depending on the color of the water and the bottom of the reservoir in which it lives. Also, the food and the season affect its color, for example, during spawning, as well as in bodies of water with muddy or peat bottom, trout becomes darker. It is known that the more fed the trout, the fewer spots on its sides. When moving fish from natural reservoirs to artificial ones, its color also changes.
The size of an adult river trout that is raised free depends on the size of the river where it is raised. On average, the length of fish reaches 25 - 35 cm, weight 300 - 500 g. In artificial reservoirs, larger specimens can be grown, up to 1.5 - 2 kg. They reach this weight in 2 years of life. Sea trout is larger than river trout.
