Zrmanja trout (Salmo zrmanjaensis) was first described in 1938 by the Macedonian biologist Stanko L. Karaman (1889 – 1959).

It’s the endemic of the Zrmanja River (Croatia). The issue of Salmo zrmanjaensis being a separate species is still in question.

Names of Zrmanja trout (Salmo zrmanjaensis) in other languages are as follows:

Trota del fiume Zrmanje (Italian), Zrmanjska pastrva (Croatian), Zrmanjska pastrmka (Serbian).
