Rainbow Trout Range Map

Hatchery reared rainbows are widely stocked within streams rivers ponds and lakes throughout central and western Virginia.

Rainbow trout range map. Rainbow trout found primarily east of the Cascade Mountains in the US. Rainbow trout populations in freshwater are also thought to be stable throughout their native range in Alaska. Rainbow trout are a favorite of anglers and as a result are now one of the most widely introduced fish species in the world.

Current stocking practices in Athabasca Rainbow Trout range exclude lakes with outlets although there are four exceptions to this exclude streams and use only 3N that is triploid domestic strain Rainbow Trout within the range of Athabasca Rainbow Trout. The source of this data set is the fish biodiversity maps created for The Nature Conservancy TNC as part of their Hexagon Project. The historical range of rainbow trout extends from Alaska to Mexico and includes British Columbia Washington Oregon California Idaho and Nevada.

Those that live in lakes are silvery with a dark olive-green colour on the back though the dorsal coloration is sometimes a deep steely blue. And found that predicted occurrence of Brook Trout was lower in the presence of Brown Trout across a wide range of landscape habitat characteristics. Rainbows which live out their entire life in freshwater and anadromous steelhead which live in both coastal streams and the ocean.

2013 used modeling ordination and simulations and found that stocking intensity of Brown Trout into Brook Trout habitat was a major factor in Brook Trout. Rainbow Trout The Coastal rainbow trout species includes two unique life histories. 2013-12-18 Rainbows trout as with other trout can be found in warmer near-shore areas during the spring.

Rainbow trout live along the coastal regions of the rainbow trouts native range. The subspecies still occurs in the Little Kern River above the falls on the lower river though some populations show signs of introgression with coastal rainbow trout. Rainbow trout are also found on the Kamchatka Peninsula on the Pacific coast of Russia not far from Alaska.

Wild rainbow trout populations within Virginia most often occur in small rocky streams in forested landscapes. They do occur naturally in the wild in areas where the native range of rainbow trout and cutthroat trout overlap. They are staples of many sport fisheries and have been intentionally introduced in many sites worldwide to.
