How do you know if a trout is male or female?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1. One of best ways to distinguish the sex of a trout is to examine the mouth. Female trout all have a short rounded nose or upper jaw, while male trout have a more elongated snout. If your trout has a lower jaw with a kype, it's a male for sure. Although the mouth of a female trout will grow larger as it ages and increases in size, the mouth will never grow a kype (hooked lower jaw). Upon becoming sexually mature, male trout will begin to grow a pronounced kype. At first, it will just be a tell-tale sign, but as a male trout ages, its kype will become more pronounced. It's important to point out that even for trout that aren't sexually mature, an angler can look at the mouth of a trout and see either a uniform mouth with a short rounded nose (female), or a elongated snout with a slightly longer lower jaw (male).

2. Sexually mature male and female trout for both rainbows and browns have different looking anal fins. A male will have a slight convex anal fish "(", while a female trout's anal fin will be slightly concave ")". I'm not sure if cutthroat trout are in the same boat. I'll have to depend on the community who regularly catch them, to provide us their insight and confirm this.

Trout will sometimes eat plankton, but they are predators. Plants are not on their menu. There are a lot of different varieties, and their diets vary as their habitat does.

Does shark eat a trout?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, they do. That is why Tuna ranchers must keep sharks out of their holding pens. Tuna "ranchers" keep juvenile tuna in enormous, very deep nets (pens) which supported by buoys and kept just a few miles off land. The young tuna are trapped in "seine" type nets, moved to the deep nets, fed ( like "feedlots"), and held until reach the desired weight after several months. The tuna are usually fed sardines or other small fish, twice daily, until they are harvested ("killed"). Shark must be kept out of the nets because they will eat the tuna or damage the tuna, which can be worth as much as $173,000 at the fish auctions in Japan. The ranchers are working very hard to "grow" the tuna, like cattle or pigs. Tuna are practically worth their weight in gold.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Differences-

Barracudas live in saltwater, when salmon live in freshwaters, streams and rivers.

A salmon is also a lot smaller than a barracuda. A salmon is an average of 58 in. and a barracuda can be as large as 6ft.

Similarities-

They are both fish

They both have teeth

And they both eat fish. A lot of people think salmon don't eat other fish, but they do. They eat small fish.

I hope this helps! A lot of kids on my website asked this.

How do you catch trout?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

you go to the best place that you think of for fishing,(which I recommend you fish off a pier or a dock. but if you have a boat then you should definetly fish off it.) You cast the line out,(basicly just flipping the handle, then fling the tip of the rod upward or sideward then let go of the line at the last minute.)When it lands just wait for a bite.( I would ether hold part of the line slightly so when a fish bites youll easily feel it, or when the weight goes underwater pull and reel. when you pull and reel jerk the fishing rod up, and reel. but NEVER make the fishing rod go down low, because that loosens the line and the hook, so that the hook would dettach from the fish, and the fish would get away.
You have to get a fishing rod and go to a nice fishing spot. But before you do that you have to find bait but of course you can purchase this at a bait place. Make sure you put the bait nice and tight. Then you can fish!
To catch a fish you might place bait on a hook that is attached to fishing line and a fishing pole. Place the bait in the water and wait for the fish to bite.

What is a young trout called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The term "fingerling" or "juvenile" can be applied to young fish. Fry is a term that applies to an earlier stage of development when the fish has just absorbed its yolk sack and become free swimming. Fingerling is the general term for a fish in the stage when it is a little bigger than this but still small.
