Some fun facts about Rainbow Trout!
Some rainbow trout prefer to live in the ocean. Technically, they’re actually a sub-species of the rainbow trout. These ocean-loving cousins are referred to as steelhead trout, instead of rainbow trout.
Rainbow trout have been farmed for food since 1870. The practice of farming rainbow trout for commercial practices has been going on since the late 19th Century, beginning in the US. The largest producer of rainbow trout is surprisingly not the US though, it’s Chile! Commercial rainbow trout farming is no small-scale industry either, with 666,592 tons of the fish harvested globally in 2007.
