About the Tiger Trout (Salmo trutta X Salvelinus fontinalis)
The Tiger Trout is a hybrid trout species created by fertilizing brown trout eggs with brook trout milt and 'heat shocking them', creating an extra set of chromosomes which increases the survival rate from 5% to 85%. The Tiger Trout is typically dispersed in the Great Lakes, where it is used to control other fish species, as the Tiger Trout is both carnivorous and aggressive. Its color hue is truly stunning, featuring a rich olive skin, with a soft orange underbelly and bright crimson fins.
