They are members of the salmon family and, like their salmon cousins, can grow quite large. They average about 20 to 30 inches (51 to 76 centimeters) long and around 8 pounds (3.6 kilograms), but can grow as long as 4 feet (1.2 meters) and weigh up to 53 pounds (24 kg).

Trout are usually grown in a hatchery and when the fry are big enough they are planted in a stream or lake.

Generally, catfish can be larger than trout. While some trout species, like the lake trout, can grow quite large, many catfish species, such as the blue catfish or flathead catfish, can reach weights of over 100 pounds. In contrast, most trout species typically range from 1 to 30 pounds, making catfish the larger of the two on average. However, size can vary widely depending on the specific species being compared.
There are commonly two types of habitat for a rainbow trout. First is a river or stream. As long as the water is cold and flowing trout will flourish. Although this is so, a trout will only grow as big as it's environment lets it. Secondly, is a lake. Just like trout in a river, trout in a lake need to be cold to live to their potential. Trout in lakes normally grow much larger than trout in a river. Usually because food is more prevalent and they have much more space to move.
Trout farming is a type of aquaculture that involves raising trout for sale as food. To farm with trout, you must have large ponds with constantly moving cold water. The fish are typically feed daily as well.
