Oncorhynchus clarki clarki
sea-run cutthroat, harvest trout
1-4 lbs, up to 6 lbs
Of the 13 subspecies of cutthroat trout indigenous to North America, only the coastal
cutthroat is anadromous. But coastal cutthroat have complex life histories, and not all
fish are anadromous. In any given body of water, some may migrate to sea, while others
become resident fish. In fact, the offspring of resident fish may migrate, while the
offspring of anadromous fish may "residualize."
