Brown trout are cold-blooded freshwater fish typically weighing 2 pounds and measuring 13 to 16 inches long. They are identified by large black or reddish-orange spots with pale borders on their sides. Brown trout live in rivers, streams, and lakes, migrating to streams in late autumn to spawn in gravel areas, where females lay an average of 2,000 eggs. They are carnivorous, eating insects, worms, crayfish, and small fish. The eggs are buried in gravel to protect them from sunlight and other environmental factors until hatching. While endangered, brown trout populations face additional threats from acid rain degrading their freshwater habitats.
