Salmo cettii, or the Mediterranean trout, is a species of trout, a freshwater fish in the Salmonidae family.[1] It lives in the Mediterranean region, in Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily and on the Italian mainland in the Magra drainage and further south. It is a non-migratory fish which lives in streams and in karstic resurgences.[2] It is smaller than 40 cm in length. It is sometimes referred to Salmo trutta macrostigma, which is a more widespread Mediterranean taxon.[2]
