Tiger Trout

The tiger trout is a sterile hybrid of a male brook trout and a female brown trout. Tiger trout have been reported to grow faster than other trout species, and have been heavily stocked as sport fish due to their aggressive nature. Although unable to spawn, the male tiger trout develops a kype on its lower jaw due to hormonal changes during traditional spawning seasons.
