Softmouth Trout From The River
Krka – Salmo obtusirostris krkensis
 The
main morphological trait, typical of the Krka softmouth
trout is blunt snout, which gives it “unkind look”. That’s
why natives call it zlousta or “evil mouth” trout.
The Krka softmouth trout inhabit very restricted area
of the upper part of the River Krka at the town of
Knin, Croatia. They sympatrically co-exist with brown
trout.
According to our observation, it is the most scarce
and endangered taxon of the softmouth trout.
Despite a trial (see Field
Trip), we didn’t
succeed to obtain samples of the Krka softmouth trout
and
therefore its DNA phylogeny still remains obscured.
