A recent study in São Paulo, Brazil, has shown that yellow trout, a variant of the rainbow trout species, can achieve larger sizes than the wild strain typically used in farming.
This finding suggests that the yellow phenotype of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) may offer advantages in aquaculture settings.
The implications of this research could influence future practices in fish farming, particularly regarding the selection of trout strains for cultivation.
