Taxonomic Remarks
A better resolved species level taxonomy and more detailed morphological examination of peri-Mediterranean and African 'macrostigma' trouts is needed and feasible.
Entorno: milieu / zona climática / rango de profundidad / gama de distribución
Ecología
marino; agua dulce; salobre bentopelágico; anadromo (Ref. 51243). Subtropical
Africa: restricted to Algeria (Ref. 13696, 55619, 59043, 87713), also in Mediterranean basins of Morocco (Ref. 107622). The other peri-Mediterranean populations referred to as Salmo macrostigma belong to several species (Ref. 87713).

Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 15; Radios blandos anales: 11 - 13; Vértebra: 57 - 58. Diagnosis: dorsal fin slightly higher than long; located more posteriorly than in other Salmo species; caudal fin more forked than other Salmo species; 8-12 round, black spots (parr marks) on sides (Ref. 4904, 52923, 94703, 94704), which are more prominent in juveniles and are retained in adults (Ref. 55619). Low gill raker count and dark spots on sides distinguish it from S. akairos; it differs from S. trutta in slightly lower vertebral count and pyloric caeca counts, and having the parr marks more conspicuous; 10-11 anal fin pterygiophores (Ref. 55619). 14-17 small scales between adipose fin and lateral line (Ref. 1878, 52923, 55619).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Possesses a particular diet due to poor insular ichthyologic fauna; its food consists mainly of tadpoles, insects and urodela (Ref. 11941).
