Trout Research Associates conducts studies on the biology and ecology of trout ( fish in the Salmonid family ). We are based in Nova Scotia Canada. Four species of trout exist in Nova Scotia: Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout and Lake Trout. Currently our research is on Brook Trout ( Salvelinus fontinalis ) populations in the Mersey River watershed in southwestern Nova Scotia. Our goal is to provide information that may improve the conservation and management of trout.
