The name Salmo derives from the
Latinsalmō, meaning
salmon. Vast majority of the Salmo species are actually
trout, except the Atlantic salmon, which along with six
Pacific species from the genus Oncorhynchus (also from the subfamily Salmoninae, but of a different tribe) constitute the only seven officially recognized species of salmon.
