Where does the rainbow end? A case study of self-sustaining rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss populations in tropical rivers

Abstract

The great physiological, behavioral and morphological plasticity of salmonids contributed to the success of their introduction into a wide range of habitats. However, rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) is the only salmonid species to live in the tropics. Like for any cold-water species, water temperature is assumed to be a major constraint to the presence and expansion of rainbow trout. In this study, we collected detailed records of the introduction history of rainbow trout at 35 sites across the island over 80 years, and we document the presence of self-sustainable trout at each site. We explored the linear relationship between water temperature and elevation.
