📚 Nomenclature and Classification
📚 Natural History
Life Cycle
Female covers the eggs by restirring the sand and fine gravel . After hatching at 12 mm, larval brown trout remain in the gravel for 2-3 weeks until they are about 25 mm long, when they emerge to begin feeding in the water column. Brown trout are territorial and begin establishing territories as juveniles. Juvenile trout from lake populations move from their natal inlets to lakes during the first 2 years of life .

Migration
Anadromous. Fish that ascend rivers to spawn, as salmon and hilsa do. Sub-division of diadromous. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.

Trophic Strategy
Brown trout are territorial and begin establishing territories as juveniles . Juvenile trout from lake populations move from their natal inlets to lakes during the first 2 years of life . For sympatric populations of this species and Gadopsis marmoratus, coexistence was possible, although their diets were similar, because each species occupied different habitats . Juveniles feed mainly on larvae of insects; adults feed on crustaceans and fish . Fingerling brown trout seems to act as an opportunistic predator, and the consumption of different preys seems to be influenced by their accessibility, predation risk, and their energetic value . It is preyed upon by kingfishers and mergansers.
