message: According to recent findings of the James Webb Space telescope, I believe that we should combine the trout page with the listed articles above under the new name "Brown Fish". Under article 14 of the live game and fish pocket handbook these are all common sport fish, that are under suspicion of being the same person.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.72.109.162 (talk) 20:48, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

message: The Salmo genus also has Atlantic Salmon, S. salar which is excluded because it's called "salmon"   instead of "trout".  Oncorhynchus genus also has these "salmon": Chinook (O. tshawytscha), Pink (O. gorbuscha), Chum (O. keta), Coho (O. kisutch) and Sockeye (O. nerka), again excluded from the "trout" article because they are called "salmon".  
This distinction between "trout" and "salmon" is arbitrary.  If you say it's between anadromous and strictly freshwater fish, in fact most "trout" and "salmon" species go both ways. If you say it's between species that always die after spawning versus those that sometimes survive to spawn again, S. salar becomes a "trout".
Would it be better to have comprehensive articles for each genus, including both their "trout" and their "salmon"?  Wouldn't it be better to deal with trout/salmon ambiguity with redirection and disambiguation? LADave 14:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Where's the Speckled Trout? 

message: Hi folks. Would anyone object to me editing the entry for Brook Trout to read:
Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis (Includes Sea-Run variety, as well as Tiger Trout and Splake hybrids)
I feel that this would greatly aid readers, and here is why:
-Almost everyone from my region incorrectly refers to a sea-run brook trout as a 'Sea Trout'. Many don't even realize that the sea-run variety is related to a bookie (they 'can' look quite different).  So when they come to this page, not seeing any other reference to the sea-run trout, they will end up clicking on the non-char "Sea Trout" entry which is similar to the brown trout (as I did originally) - which is not what they are looking for, and will cause confusion.
-Tiger Trout and Splake: many people are familiar with these fish, but don't realize they are actually hybrids. A mention of them here will aid them in locating what they are looking for.       — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamnb1 (talk • contribs) 14:57, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

'wild fish'
The article is about fish in the wild but 'wild fish' seems inappropriate.  Perhaps another word (or rewriting the sentence) would be less confusing.
Respectfully,

replies: text: Actually, the term "wild" fish is a fairly common distinction for trout that naturally spawn and reproduce in the wild. With trout in general, there are essentially four distinctions.  Wild native fish (fish that reproduce naturally and are native to the water they are found in), stocked native fish (fish that are native to the water, but were spawned in a hatchery and stocked in the water), wild non-natives (fish that reproduce naturally but are not native to the water) and stocked non-natives.  For example, most rainbow trout and brown trout fisheries in the rocky mountain west are wild non-natives not supported by any hatchery stocked fish.  Whereas in the eastern U.S. many rainbow and brown trout fisheries are not wild because the water will not support reproduction and relies on stocking of hatchery fish to sustain a fishery.  --Mike Cline (talk) 18:41, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

message: The article talks about what kinds of food trout eat. I believe the diet section should break down each kind of trout and there diet because they all eat all kinds of food. Not all trout live in the same kinds of water. Also if the section would go in depth on how trout hunt there food. Each kind of fish has there own diet. Wgpz (talk) 16:55, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
