This beautiful species, though quite diverse in appearance depending on its habitat and diet, is normally green in colour with a spotted back and bright pink streak onits side.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis member of the salmon family averages from 50 centimetres to just under 80 centimetres in length, weighing about 3.6 kilograms-but can reach very large sizes (up to 1.2 metres and\u003cbr\u003e24 kilograms) under the right conditions. Its preferred natural habitat is gravel-bottomed, cool rivers and streams or lakes withsufficient vegetation for predatory coverage. Rainbow trout require fast-moving gravel-bottomed streamsfor spawning. Generally, river dwellers are not as large as lake dwellers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRainbow trout are strong predators that feed on water and land insects, small fish, and crustaceans. They are subdivided into about fifteen sub-species, including steelhead, which are the salt-water variety of rainbow trout. Steelhead bear genetic variations that allow them to adapt to life in salt water-a process known as smoltification. They are born in fresh water and return to their birthplace to spawn after undergoing this physiological adaptation to salt water. They are also iteroparous, which means they can spawn several times over their lifetime. Unlike their freshwater cousins, they are entirely silver incolour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn exciting gift for the anglers and sports lovers in your life!

The image centres around the rainbow trout, viewed from its left side. The front of its body is angled toward the viewer while its tail curls behind it and to the left in the background. This presentation highlights the trout's unique torpedo-shaped body withsmall head, characteristic speckling, and shaded stripe along its side. The fish hovers near a fallen tree branch, which fills the background, in a shallow, gravel-bottomed river.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDid you knowÉ\u003cbr\u003e ¥   To spawn, female rainbow trout dig a small depression in the gravel bottom of a poolin a shallow, fast-moving stream. To dig this smallnest, the trout turns on her side and uses her tailto clear the depression from the riverbed. As she releases several thousand eggs into the gravel, a male fertilizes them. She then covers the fertilized eggs with gravel to keep them safe until they hatch between one and two months later.\u003cbr\u003e ¥   Rainbow trout are particular favourites of fly-fishing anglers.\u003cbr\u003e ¥   Rainbow trout have sharp upper teeth but no lower teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40785191141451,"sku":"RCM.CA.OT.CN.003852","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/143924_rev-1198.png?v=1717055255","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-platinum-2015-d300-rainbow-trout-north-american-sportfish-1oz_-_9995","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
