Nutritional and Social Consequences of Cheating Trout Distribution Instead of Salmon Fish

Abstract

1© 2019 International Journal of Preventive Medicine | Published by Wolters Kluwer ‑ Medknow Over the past few years, some doubts have been cast over the genuineness and nutritional values of special trout, misleadingly named as “trouth salmon” compared with Atlantic Salmon in social networking sites and mass media. As a result, some people have refused to buy any kind of Salmon and have deprived themselves of this nutritious food. The objective of this letter is to review the similarities and differences between currently supplied by the market, Atlantic Salmon and special trout in terms of zoology, process of production, nutritional quality, and safety of consumption.
