Sampling of Brown trout for nostrils and brains

We got lucky to get hands on adults of the Brown trout (Salmo trutta) from the reproduction facility. In Czechia, they don’t get much chance to reach such size and shape in the wild. Beautiful example of  the phenotype potential of the species. What a beautiful and “monstrous” specimens!

Demi is happy to get the nostril samples for his project:
