Yes, trout are considered an indicator species because they are sensitive to changes in water quality and environmental conditions. Their presence and health in a habitat can reflect the overall quality of the ecosystem, including factors like pollution levels, habitat degradation, and climate change. Monitoring trout populations helps scientists assess the health of freshwater environments, making them valuable for conservation efforts.
