Trout Coloration

Today Bill Foster came in and did a presentation on trout coloration. We saw pictures of trout who live in different environments and saw that their coloration reflected their environment. For example, a trout that lives deep in Cayuga Lake tends to be darker, while a trout living in a clear stream in the fall tends to be colorful, reflecting the leaves. Then students colored their own trout and expressed what kind of environment their trout lives in.
