Rainbow Trout #407

Is a freshwater fish but you have it spawning in the ocean.

GirafiStudios commented 1 year ago

No it´s not. It´s native to the pacific ocean.

Teralitha commented 1 year ago

That is incorrect. It is native to freshwater rivers and lakes, but is known to migrate into saltwater. Plenty of info on this found on google. So technically it does exist in saltwater, but its primarily a freshwater species.

Edit: Girafi actually corrected me which is funny, I know people who fish for these IRL. I did a larger dive.

So Rainbow Trout spend half their life in the ocean, the other half in streams/freshwater for spawning. They live 6 or 7 years and 2 or 3 are spent in the ocean.

So our best bet is probably to have them in both rivers and ocean.

Its ok. I dont want to make a big deal out of it. They technically exist in both fresh and salt water. But they are only in saltwater in this mod, which is something that nags at me in my mind. Would be nice to see them in freshwater too in this mod. Or add a different type of rainbow trout to rivers.

I would suggest Steelhead rainbow trout for oceans, and just rainbow trout for rivers/lakes

Yep was thinking about this actually. Eventually I'll add a distinguishing difference, for now they'll just be in both.

Also there's a few subtypes of Rainbow Trout which muddled this discussion as well. Its not a big deal, its an interesting discussion and I always like learning things. I've grown up only knowing the Freshwater type actually, and everyone I know fished for freshwater trout. Was not aware Coastal Rainbow Trout were even a thing.
