Would it be acceptable to create a designated section on this page for the sea-run variety of brook trout? Given that they can vary greatly in size and coloration, and are widely popular in the eastern regions, I think they deserve greater distinction. |

Also, this article mentions that they "go" to sea for three months in the spring. Do they not winter there, then return to the fresh water streams in Mid to Late spring? <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Adamnb1|Adamnb1]] ([[User talk:Adamnb1|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Adamnb1|contribs]]) 15:14, 2 June 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

"The species reaches a maximum recorded length of 86 cm (33 in) and a maximum recorded weight of 9.4 kg (14 lb)." 9.4kg is not equal to 14lb, not even close, it's more like 21 pounds or so. I didn't edit this as I don't know which is correct.24.234.24.22 (talk) 22:49, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Lifespan contradiction
Under "Description" it says "It can reach at least seven years of age, with reports of 15-year-old specimens" Under "Environmental requirements" it says "The brook trout is a short-lived species, rarely surviving beyond four or five years in the wild." --Mithcoriel (talk) 14:33, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
- It's not a contradiction as far as I can see. In the wild within its native range, the fish normally does not exceed 5 years of age. In captivity, it can attain 7. In an introduced population outside of its native range, it has been known to attain 15. Precisely what is the contradiction? A fish that normally lives only 5 years is a fairly short-lived species, no? 209.105.199.39 (talk) 17:15, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Unspotted fish from Quebec
I removed the following text from the article (some clean-up added). I recommend we keep it here for later re-insertion when its status becomes clarified. Is it a subspecies, an ecotype, what? If this thing is real, it will become clear what it is in due course. 209.105.199.39 (talk) 17:11, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
===Unspotted trout in Quebec===
In autumn 2006, a new discovery was confirmed in Quebec, Canada, about a new race of speckled trout (unspotted)(Salvelinus fontinalis mitchinamecus). Reference www.aquaecofaune.com. Only in French presently.
Sea-run variety
Would it be acceptable to create a designated section on this page for the sea-run variety of brook trout? Given that they can vary greatly in size and coloration (while at sea and just after leaving), and are widely popular in the eastern regions, I think they deserve greater distinction.
Also, this article mentions that they "go" to sea for three months in the spring. Do they not winter there, then return to the fresh water streams in Mid to Late spring? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamnb1 (talk • contribs) 15:14, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
