The trout must migrate high up into the rivers and streams to lay their eggs in areas known as redds. These eggs hatch into small fish, known as Alevin, which are nourished by a small yellow yolk sack. By the time the yolk is used up, the fish, which are now called Parr are dependent on their own resources to feed.
At this stage small anatomical changes occur that cause some trout to develop salt secreting glands and begin to resemble salmon. These are known as sea trout and eventually swim to the sea in search of greater food supplies. The other trout remain in the rivers and estuaries and tend to be smaller than sea trout. They are known as brown trout. The sea trout will return to the river of their birth to spawn in the coming season. Many predators await the trout when they return to the sea but some have been known to return to their home river on numerous occasions.
