Subspecies (table format)[edit]

Pacific basin subspecies of Oncorhynchus mykiss are listed below as described by Behnke (2002)[1]

Geographical group Common name Scientific name Range Image
Type species Kamchatkan rainbow trout O. m. mykiss (Walbaum, 1792) Western Pacific: Kamchatkan Peninsula and has been recorded from the Commander Islands east of Kamchatka and sporadically in the Sea of Okhotsk as far south as the mouth of the Amur River
Coastal forms Coastal rainbow trout O. m. irideus (Gibbons, 1855) Pacific ocean tributaries from Aleutian Islands in Alaska south to Southern California. Anadromous forms known as steelhead, freshwater forms known as rainbow trout.
Ocean and freshwater forms of coastal rainbow trout-steelhead
O. m. irideus
Beardslee trout O. m. irideus var. beardsleei (not a true subspecies, but a genetically unique lake-dwelling variety of coastal rainbow trout) (Jordan, 1896)[2] Isolated in Lake Crescent, Washington
Redband forms Columbia River redband trout O. m. gairdneri (Richardson, 1836) Found in the Columbia river and its tributaries in Montana, Washington and Idaho. Anadromous forms known as redband steehead Columbia River redband trout
O. m. gairdneri
Athabasca rainbow trout O. m. spp., considered by Behnke as form of O. m. gairdneri, but considered a separate subspecies by biologist L. M. Carl of the Ontario Ministry of Resources, Aquatic Ecosystems Research Section and associates from work published in 1994.[3] Distributed throughout the headwaters of the Athabasca River system in Alberta
McCloud River redband O. m. stonei (Jordan, 1894) Native to the McCloud River, upstream of Middle Falls, and its tributaries in Northern California, south of Mount Shasta.
Sheepheaven Creek redband O. m. spp. Native to Sheepheaven Creek, Siskiyou County, California Sheepheaven Creek redband were transplanted into Swamp Creek in 1972 and 1974 and into Trout Creek in 1977.
Great Basin redband trout O. m. newberrii (Girard, 1859) Native in southeastern Oregon, and parts of California and Nevada on the periphery of the Great Basin.
Eagle Lake trout O. m. aquilarum (Snyder, 1917) Endemic to Eagle Lake, in Lassen County, California.
Kamloops rainbow trout O. m. kamloops strain (Jordan, 1892) Native to several large British Columbia lakes, particularly Kamloops lake and Kootenay Lake. Known for its very large size.
Kern River golden trout Golden trout O. m. aguabonita (Jordan, 1892) Native to Golden Trout Creek (tributary to the Kern River), Volcano Creek (tributary to Golden Trout Creek), and the South Fork Kern River. Kern river golden trout
O. m. aquabonita
Kern River rainbow trout O. m. gilberti (Jordan, 1894) Endemic to the Kern River and tributaries in Tulare County, California Its current range is drastically reduced from its historic range. Remnant populations live in the Kern river above Durrwood creek, in upper Ninemile, Rattlesnake and Osa creeks, and possibly in upper peppermint Creek.
Little Kern golden trout O. m. whitei (Evermann, 1906) Endemic to ~100 miles (160 km) of the Little Kern River and tributaries. Their current range is restricted to five headwater streams in the Kern river basin (Wet Meadows Creek, Deadman Creek, Soda Spring Creek, Willow and Sheep Creeks, and Fish Creek) plus an introduced population in Coyote Creek, a tributary to the nearby Kern River.[4]
Mexico forms Mexico rainbow trout
Rio Yaqui, Rio Mayo and Guzman trout
Rio San Lorenzo and Arroyo la Sidra trout
Rio del Presidio trout		 O. m. nelsoni (Evermann, 1908) Sometimes referred to as Nelson's trout, occurs in three distinct geographic groups.
Mutated forms Golden rainbow trout
Palomino trout		 So-called golden rainbow trout or palomino trout are bred from a single mutated color variant of Oncorhynchus mykiss which originated in a West Virginia fish hatchery in 1955.[5][6] Golden rainbow trout are predominantly yellowish, lacking the typical green field and black spots, but retaining the diffuse red stripe.[6][7] The palomino trout is a mix of golden and common rainbow trout, resulting in an intermediate color. The golden rainbow trout should not be confused with the naturally occurring Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita, the Kern river golden trout of California.[6]
