[quote iliketofish]All the research that I have read says that they are the exact same fish, just that one is anadromous and one is a resident for whatever reason. There are genetic differences between different populations, but not enough to make them different species. But with that said, there is certainly a lot of debate on the phylogeny and taxonomy of rainbow trout, and there is a TON of variation within that species, so I'm not saying they'll be exactly the same as the traditional IP fish, but it'll be interesting anyway.
Either way I'm sure they've got a reason to put them in there I just hope it pays off![/quote]
My studies say the same.
I don't see a downside as they are just rainbows without the ability to to be anadromous, that is able to return to the ocean and back. A great way to use what might otherwise be excess eggs or smolt that might otherwise be destroyed.
