### Taxonomy: View taxonomy in ITIS 

### Listing Status: Endangered ( and others listed below) General Information Steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus m ykiss) belong to the family Salmonidae which includes all salmon, trout, and chars. Steelhead are similar to some Paci fic salmon in thei r life cycle and ecological requirements. They ar e born in fresh water streams, where they spend their first 1-3 years of life. They then emigrateto the ocean where mo st of their growth occurs. After spending between one to fourgrowing seasons in the ocean, steelhe ad return to their native fresh water stream to spawn. Unlike Paci fic salmon, steelhead donot necessarily die after spawning and are able to spaw n more than once.
