discussion
Remarks Some authors considered that Salmo labrax is just the Danube lineage of the S. trutta complex (Pustovrh et al. 2014 a, 2014 b), while others consider it as a distinct species (Kottelat 1997; Kottelat & Freyhof 2007). According to Hamzić (2024), translocated to the Adriatic Basin.

Habitat. At sea, at depths of down to 50 m, usually along coasts and near estuaries. Migrates to mountain streams. Locally resident in lakes. Resident part of populations in streams with fast currents, cold, clear water, and stony or gravelly bottoms. Usually in lower and middle reaches of main rivers and streams. Also, in very short coastal streams (less than 5 km). Observed in Çoruh up to 340 km from sea. Usually spawns in middle reaches of rivers. Biology. Anadromous, lacustrine, and resident forms, with most individuals remaining in freshwater. Smallest adult female recorded about 160 mm SL. Spawns October – January. Spends 2 – 4 years in rivers and streams, then smolts migrate to sea or matures in freshwater. Spends 2 – 4 years at sea. Some anadromous individuals return to rivers in April – May, where they spend summer, usually spawning migration starts in September – October, gregarious during migration. Other anadromous individuals begin to migrate shortly before spawning. Eggs hatch in 6 – 8 weeks. Parr and resident adults feed on a wide variety of aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Anadromous and large resident individuals feed mainly on fish and large crustaceans. Ana
