Arctic char or Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is a freshwater fish in the Salmonidae family, native to Arctic, sub-Arctic and alpine lakes and coastal waters. No other freshwater fish is found as far north. It is one of the rarest fish species in Britain, found only in deep, cold, glacial lakes, mostly in Scotland, and is at risk from acidification. In other parts of its range, it is much commoner, and is fished extensively. In Siberia, it is known as golets (from the Russian голец). ...more on Wikipedia about "Arctic char"

The Aurora trout is a subspecies of the brook trout. The existence of the fish was brought to the attention of the angling world by four American anglers who were taken by Archie King of Latchford, Ontario Canada into Ontario's Lady Evelyn River System in 1923. Recognising the fish as different or unique, the anglers took a specimen back to the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh in the United States, where Dr. Arthur W. Henn was asked to identify the fish. He wrote about the fish in 1925 wherein he and Rinckenbach identified it as a distinct species, Salvelinus timagamiensis but, since a seminal re-examination of the material by Sale in 1967, taxonomists now agree that the fish is, in a fact, a subspecies of the brook trout, named Salvelinus fontinalis timagamiensis. ...more on Wikipedia about "Aurora trout"
The Blackfin Cisco (Coregonus nigripinnis) is a member of the whitefish sub-family. This silvery, deep-bodied fish with black fins, large eyes, a blunt snout and a terminal mouth. is one of the largest species of ciscoes. It is a dark silvery color, with a dark green to black back, and pink or purple on the sides; the outer half of the fins is black. Blackfin Ciscoes measure up to 510 mm (21 inches in length). Its preferred habitat is cold lakes at depths of up to 180 metres. The Blackfin Cisco was last seen in Lake Michigan in 1969 and in Lake Huron in 1960. The Blackfin Cisco is still occasionally sighted in Lake Nipigon in northern Ontario. ...more on Wikipedia about "Blackfin cisco"
The Bonneville cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki utah) is a subspecies of Cutthroat trout that once inhabited the Late Pleistocene-aged Lake Bonneville of Utah, eastern Nevada, and Southern Idaho (USA). Since the drainage of that lake, the fish has been evolutionarily isolated in small populations in the headwaters of cool mountain streams and lakes of the Bonneville Drainage basin. The isolation has resulted in much phenotypic variation among populations. This species is one of 14 recognized subspecies of Cutthroat trout native to the western United States. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bonneville cutthroat trout"
The brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) is a species of fish in the salmon family (family Salmonidae) of order Salmoniformes. In many parts of its range, it's known by the name speckled trout. The brook trout is native to streams, lakes, and spring ponds. Some brook trout are anadromous. Though commonly considered a trout, the brook trout is actually a char, along with lake trout, bull trout, dolly varden and the arctic char. It is native to a wide area of eastern North America, including most of Canada from the Hudson Bay basin east, the Great Lakes– Saint Lawrence system, and the Mississippi River drainage in the United States as far south as northern Georgia. ...more on Wikipedia about "Brook trout"
The Brown Trout (Salmo trutta morpha fario and S. trutta morpha lacustris) and the Sea Trout (S. trutta morpha trutta) are fish of the same species distinguished chiefly by the fact that the brown trout is largely a freshwater fish, while the sea trout shows anadromous reproduction, migrating to the oceans for much of its life and returning to freshwater only to spawn. The lacustrine morph of brown trout is most usually potamodromous, migrating into rivers or streams to spawn, although there is some evidence of stocks which spawn on wind-swept shorelines of lakes. S. trutta morpha fario form stream-resident populations, typically in alpine streams but sometimes in larger rivers, as well. There is evidence that anadromous and non-anadromous morphs coexisting in the same river can be genetically identical ** . In common usage, the name "Brown Trout" is often applied indiscriminately to the various morphs. ...more on Wikipedia about "Brown trout"

The Deepwater cisco (Coregonus johannae) was one of the largest ciscoes in the Great Lakes. Its average length was 30cm (12 inches) and it was about 1.0 kilogram in weight. Occurring only in Lakes Huron and Michigan, and inhabited waters between 50 and 150 metres deep, it was difficult to distinguish from other ciscoes and was possibly the same species as the Shortjaw cisco (Coregonus zenithicus). The Deepwater cisco was distinguished by usually having fewer than 33 gill rakers, relatively long pectoral fins, and unpigmented jaws. It was a silvery colour with a pink or purple lustre and a green or blue back. It spawned in August and September, earlier than most other ciscoes and, because of its large size, the Deepwater Cisco was heavily fished commercially. ...more on Wikipedia about "Deepwater cisco"

The gila trout (Oncorhynchus gilae) is similar to a Cutthroat trout and a native to the Southwest United States, in Arizona and New Mexico. It is an endangered species, threatened by competition and hybridization with introduced game fish (such as the rainbow trout) and habitat loss. When it was listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1973 its range had reduced from several hundred miles of stream to just 20. After listing USFWS began an aggressive program of stream restoration, removing the introduced trout and restocking restored streams with young gila trout. The species is now more secure than it was, having been moved to 10 new streams, and conservationists hope to delist the species and allow fishing, thus forming alliances with fishermen in order to help preserve the species. ...more on Wikipedia about "Gila trout"

The Golden Trout (Oncorhynchus aguabonita) is a species of freshwater fish in the salmon family (family Salmonidae) of order Salmoniformes. It is one of the trouts. These fish are commonly found at elevations of 10,000 feet above sea level. Some evolutionary biologists consider the Golden Trout to be a subspecies of the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. It is easy to understand, given the similarity of the Golden Trout to the Redband Trout, another Oncorhynchus mykiss subspecies. ...more on Wikipedia about "Golden Trout"
