Salmo abanticus
The Abant trout[1] (Salmo abanticus), is a salmonid fish native to Lake Abant in northern Anatolia.[2][3] It was initially described as a subspecies of the brown trout Salmo trutta, but later considered a full species.[2] On the basis of crossing experiments and mtDNA sequences, Kalayci et al. (2018) however proposed that it should be considered a local strain within Salmo trutta, with no distinct species status.[4]
