Background:
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is native to the Pacific drainages of North America, ranging from Alaska to Mexico. Since 1874 it has been introduced to waters on all continents except Antarctica, for recreational angling and aquaculture purposes. Production greatly expanding in the 1950s as pelleted feeds were developed. Trout fisheries are maintained, or culture practised, in the upland catchments of many tropical and sub-tropical countries of Asia, East Africa and South America. As a result, several local domesticated strains have developed (e.g. Shasta and Kamloops), while others have been arisen through mass selection and cross-breeding for improved cultural qualities.
