Rainbow Trout
Aboriginal Aquaculture Association • FinfishFinfish Facts Facts Rainbow Trout Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss - Latin name) The rainbow trout is a species of salmonid native to tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. The steelhead is a sea-run rainbow trout (anadromous) usually returning to freshwater to spawn after two to three years at sea; rainbow trout and steelhead trout are the same species. The fsh are often called salmon trout. Several other fish in the salmonid family are called trout; some are anadromous like salmon, whereas others are resident in freshwater only. The species has been introduced for food or sport to many countries, and every continent except Antarctica. The first rainbow trout hatchery was established on San Leandro Creek, a tributary of San Francisco Bay, in 1870, with trout production beginning in 1871. Today, they are farmed in many countries throughout the world. Since the 1950s, commercial production has grown exponentially, particularly in Europe and recently in Chile. In Chile and Norway, ocean cage production of steelheads has expanded to supply export markets. Inland production of rainbow trout to supply domestic markets has increased in countries such as Italy, France, Germany, Denmark and Spain. Other significant producing countries include the USA, Iran, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Evaluating Coexistence of Fish Species with Coastal Cutthroat Trout in Low Order Streams of Western Oregon and Washington, USA
fishes Article Evaluating Coexistence of Fish Species with Coastal Cutthroat Trout in Low Order Streams of Western Oregon and Washington, USA Kyle D. Martens 1,* and Jason Dunham 2 1 Washington Department of Natural Resources, 1111 Washington Street SE, Olympia, WA 98504, USA 2 U.S. Geological Survey, Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center, 3200 SW Jefferson Way, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: When multiple species of fish coexist there are a host of potential ways through which they may interact, yet there is often a strong focus on studies of single species without considering these interactions. For example, many studies of forestry–stream interactions in the Pacific Northwest have focused solely on the most prevalent species: Coastal cutthroat trout. To examine the potential for interactions of other fishes with coastal cutthroat trout, we conducted an analysis of 281 sites in low order streams located on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula and along the central Oregon coast. Coastal cutthroat trout and juvenile coho salmon were the most commonly found salmonid species within these streams and exhibited positive associations with each other for both presence and density. Steelhead were negatively associated with the presence of coastal cutthroat trout as well as with coho salmon and sculpins (Cottidae). Coastal cutthroat trout most frequently shared streams with juvenile coho salmon. For densities of these co-occurring species, associations between these two species were relatively weak compared to the strong influences of physical stream conditions Citation: Martens, K.D.; Dunham, J. (size and gradient), suggesting that physical conditions may have more of an influence on density Evaluating Coexistence of Fish Species with Coastal Cutthroat Trout than species interactions.

How the Rainbow Was Made
How the Rainbow Was Made A Creation Tale from the Ojibwe Nation retold by S. E. Schlosser One day when the earth was new, Nanabozho looked out the window of his house beside the wide waterfall and realized that all of the flowers in his meadow were exactly the same offwhite color. How boring! He decided to make a change, so he gathered up his paints and his paintbrushes and went out to the meadow. Nanabozho sat down in the tall grass and arranged his red and orange and yellow and green and blue and violet paint pots next to him. Then he began to paint the flowers in his meadow in many different colors. He painted the violets dark blue and the tiger lilies orange with brown dots. He made the roses red and pink and purple. He painted the pansies in every color combination he could think of. Then he painted every single daffodil bright yellow. Nanabozho hummed happily to himself as he worked in the brilliant daylight provided by Brother Sun. Overhead, two little bluebirds were playing games with each other. The first little bluebird would chase his friend across the meadow one way. Then they would turn around and the second bluebird would chase him back the other way. Zippityzip went the first bluebird as he raced across the sky. Zappityzing went the second bluebird as he chased him in the brilliant sunshine. Occasionally, Nanabozho would shade his eyes and look up…up into the endless blue sky to watch the two little birds playing.

Esoteric Theories of Color
chapter 18 Esoteric Theories of Color Joscelyn Godwin As with Divine truths so also with colours, we see them as they appear to be, not as they really are. j. stuart bogg1 Although color, like music, is both a science and an art, color theory has al- ways been at a disadvantage vis-à-vis the companion discipline of Harmonics. The latter rests on empirical and mathematical principles, exemplified by the legendary experiments of Pythagoras, which have given rise to the rich vein of musica speculativa that runs parallel to the Western esoteric tradition. Color, lacking harmony’s mathematical anchor and its link to perception (e.g., that the purest perceived interval, the octave, derives from the simplest proportion of 1:2; the perfect fifth from 2:3, and so on), is a fluctuating field, even in its major landmarks such as the primary colors. Its definitions rely not on number but on words, whose translation of the eye’s experience is at best imprecise and at worst contradictory. A second problem is the abstraction of colors from the things colored. To separate them and develop an independent color vocabulary did not come naturally to the ancients, though scholars resist the idea that they didn’t see colors as we do.2 Homer’s “wine-dark sea” and the multiple hues represented by purpureus (the murex dye) are well-known instances of the problem. When Pliny, a walking dictionary and generally so finicky in his categories, comes to write of the color of the eyes, the only one he names is caesius, a word used only of eyes and presumed to mean blue, or gray.3 The classical world, so ad- vanced in harmonics, has little to offer here.

Bonneville Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus Clarki Utah) Bonneville Cutthroat Trout Is One of Three Cutthroat Trout Subspecies Native to Utah
FISH Bonneville Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus clarki utah) Bonneville cutthroat trout is one of three cutthroat trout subspecies native to Utah. Bonneville cutthroat trout historically occurred in the Pleistocene Lake Bonneville basin, which included portions of Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming (Kershner 1995). The desiccation of Lake Bonneville into the smaller Great Salt Lake and fragmentation of other stream and lake habitats may have led to three slightly differentiated groups of Bonneville cutthroat trout. These groups are found in the Bonneville basin proper, the Bear River drainage, and the Snake Valley (Behnke 1992). There are five known populations of pure strain Bonneville cutthroat trout on the Fishlake National Forest inhabiting approximately 38 miles of stream habitat. There are several recently reintroduced populations, and several small potential remnant populations. Habitat for the Bonneville cutthroat trout is widely distributed and variable. It ranges from high elevation (3,500 m mean sea level) streams with coniferous and deciduous riparian trees to low elevation (1,000 m mean sea level) streams in sage-steppe grasslands containing herbaceous riparian zones. As such, Bonneville cutthroat trout have adapted to a broad spectrum of habitat conditions throughout their range (Kershner 1995). Sexual maturity is typically reached during the second year for males and the third year for females (May et al. 1978). Both the age at maturity and the annual timing of spawning vary geographically with elevation, temperature, and life history strategy. Lake resident trout may begin spawning at two years of age and usually continue throughout their lives, while adfluvial individuals may not spawn for several years.

Clean &Unclean Meats
Clean & Unclean Meats God expects all who desire to have a relationship with Him to live holy lives (Exodus 19:6; 1 Peter 1:15). The Bible says following God’s instructions regarding the meat we eat is one aspect of living a holy life (Leviticus 11:44-47). Modern research indicates that there are health benets to eating only the meat of animals approved by God and avoiding those He labels as unclean. Here is a summation of the clean (acceptable to eat) and unclean (not acceptable to eat) animals found in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. For further explanation, see the LifeHopeandTruth.com article “Clean and Unclean Animals.” BIRDS CLEAN (Eggs of these birds are also clean) Chicken Prairie chicken Dove Ptarmigan Duck Quail Goose Sage grouse (sagehen) Grouse Sparrow (and all other Guinea fowl songbirds; but not those of Partridge the corvid family) Peafowl (peacock) Swan (the KJV translation of “swan” is a mistranslation) Pheasant Teal Pigeon Turkey BIRDS UNCLEAN Leviticus 11:13-19 (Eggs of these birds are also unclean) All birds of prey Cormorant (raptors) including: Crane Buzzard Crow (and all Condor other corvids) Eagle Cuckoo Ostrich Falcon Egret Parrot Kite Flamingo Pelican Hawk Glede Penguin Osprey Grosbeak Plover Owl Gull Raven Vulture Heron Roadrunner Lapwing Stork Other birds including: Loon Swallow Albatross Magpie Swi Bat Martin Water hen Bittern Ossifrage Woodpecker ANIMALS CLEAN Leviticus 11:3; Deuteronomy 14:4-6 (Milk from these animals is also clean) Addax Hart Antelope Hartebeest Beef (meat of domestic cattle) Hirola chews

WHITE LIGHT and COLORED LIGHT Grades K–5
WHITE LIGHT AND COLORED LIGHT grades K–5 Objective This activity offers two simple ways to demonstrate that white light is made of different colors of light mixed together. The first uses special glasses to reveal the colors that make up white light. The second involves spinning a colorful top to blend different colors into white. Together, these activities can be thought of as taking white light apart and putting it back together again. Introduction The Sun, the stars, and a light bulb are all sources of “white” light. But what is white light? What we see as white light is actually a combination of all visible colors of light mixed together. Astronomers spread starlight into a rainbow or spectrum to study the specific colors of light it contains. The colors hidden in white starlight can reveal what the star is made of and how hot it is. The tool astronomers use to spread light into a spectrum is called a spectroscope. But many things, such as glass prisms and water droplets, can also separate white light into a rainbow of colors. After it rains, there are often lots of water droplets in the air. White sunlight passing through these droplets is spread apart into its component colors, creating a rainbow. In this activity, you will view the rainbow of colors contained in white light by using a pair of “Rainbow Glasses” that separate white light into a spectrum. ! SAFETY NOTE These glasses do NOT protect your eyes from the Sun. NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN! Background Reading for Educators Light: Its Secrets Revealed, available at http://www.amnh.org/education/resources/rfl/pdf/du_x01_light.pdf Developed with the generous support of The Charles Hayden Foundation WHITE LIGHT AND COLORED LIGHT Materials Rainbow Glasses Possible white light sources: (paper glasses containing a Incandescent light bulb diffraction grating).

Lake Trout Management Plan
LAKE TROUT MANAGEMENT PLAN DEPARTMENT OF INLAND FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE DIVISION OF FISHERIES AND HATCHERIES PREPARED BY PAUL JOHNSON REGIONAL FISHERIES BIOLOGIST REGION E MARCH 2001 LAKE TROUT LIFE HISTORY Description The lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) lacks the distinctive coloration of its close relative, the eastern brook trout. Lake trout are usually either dark green or grayish brown in color, with white or pale yellow bean-shaped spots. In clear waters lake trout are often so silvery that the white spots are difficult to see. In stained waters they are very dark, almost black. Generally, a narrow border of white is present along the anterior margins of the pectoral, pelvic, and anal fins. This is most pronounced during spawning; however, at no time is this border as accentuated as it is on the fins of the brook trout. Lake trout fins are not orange or orange-red, like those of the brook trout. Distribution Lake trout are distributed throughout Canada. In the United States their natural range was restricted to northern New England, the Great Lakes, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Idaho, and Alaska. In Maine they were originally found in about 100 lakes throughout the State. However, lake trout have been successfully reared in hatcheries. Consequently, their range has been extended considerably in the United States. In Maine they have been introduced into waters from Aroostook County in the north, to York County in the south. Throughout their native range lake trout are known by a wide variety of common names. In Maine they are called togue, whereas in other parts of the country and Canada they are referred to as mackinaw, salmon trout, lakers, grey trout, namaycush, Great Falls char, or mountain trout.
