1. (Zoöl.)
Definition: Any one of numerous species of fishes belonging to Salmo,
Salvelinus, and allied genera of the family Salmonidæ. They are
highly esteemed as game fishes and for the quality of their flesh.
All the species breed in fresh water, but after spawning many of them
descend to the sea if they have an opportunity.
Note: The most important European species are the river, or brown,
trout (Salmo fario), the salmon trout, and the sewen. The most
important American species are the brook, speckled, or red-spotted,
trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) of the Northern United States and
Canada; the red-spotted trout, or Dolly Varden (see Malma); the lake
trout (see Namaycush); the black-spotted, mountain, or silver, trout
(Salmo purpuratus); the golden, or rainbow, trout (see under
Rainbow); the blueback trout (see Oquassa); and the salmon trout (see
under Salmon.) The European trout has been introduced into America.
2. (Zoöl.)
Definition: Any one of several species of marine fishes more or less
resembling a trout in appearance or habits, but not belonging to the
same family, especially the California rock trouts, the common
squeteague, and the southern, or spotted, squeteague; -- called also
salt-water trout, sea trout, shad trout, and gray trout. See
Squeteague, and Rock trout under Rock. Trout perch (Zoöl.), a small
fresh-water American fish (Percopsis guttatus), allied to the trout,
