Best Answer

There are many trout species. All are similar, except coloration. Other trouts are the brook, Dolly Varden, lake, brown, cutthroat, golden, bull trouts.

Some saltwater species are called "trout", such as the speckled seatrout and its cousin the gray seatrout, but these fish are related to drums.

Is a Golden Rainbow Trout an albino?

No, it is not an albino. An albino by definition is a "an animal or plant with a marked deficiency in pigmentation". The fact that these trout have pigment means they are not ablino.What they actually are called is "Palomino Rainbow Trout". The Golden Rainbow Trout originated from a single Rainbow Trout that was spawned in the fall of 1954 in West Virginia. This trout's body color was a chimera of golden and normally pigmented tissue. When this fish was crossed with a normally pigmented Rainbow Trout, the offspring (what we have come to refer to as Palomino Rainbow Trout) were lighter in color.I caught one this past Saturday here in Oklahoma.
