Rainbow Trout is of the specie Oncorhynchus mykiss. It is a species of salmonid and it is native to the Pacfic Ocean both in North America and parts of Asia. It primarily lives in the coastal/glacier areas.  The trout is an anadromous fish. Meaning it return to freshwater to spawn, while it lives in the ocean. As a result, it is an ideal fish to farm in aquaculture ponds. Furthermore, introduced in over 45 countries across all continents of the world. In the majority of the non-native areas, the trout is an invasive species. Resulting in the trout upsetting the natural ecosystem and interfering with native species.
