Visovac’s trout (Salmo visovacensis) was first described in 1950 by the biologist Tilor. The recorded maximum weight is 14 kilograms. Specimens up to 2 kilograms are more common. It feeds on insects and fishes.
It’s the endemic of Lake Visovačko and the Krka River (Croatia). The issue of Salmo visovacensis being a separate species is still in question.
Names of Visovac’s trout (Salmo visovacensis) in other languages are as follows:
Trota del lago Visovac (Italian), Visovačka pastrva (Croatian), Visovačka pastrmka (Serbian).
