Rainbow trout
A kind of trout · also called Steelhead trout, Steelhead
About
A cold-water Pacific fish species whose whole body has roughly the same density and volume as liquid water.
Native to cold tributaries of the Pacific Ocean, rainbow trout naturally match the buoyancy of their freshwater environment. A typical whole fish has a density of 62.4 pounds per cubic foot (1 g/mL), meaning it takes up 1 pint (473 mL) of space for roughly every 1.04 pounds (473 g) of weight. This makes it substantially lighter by volume than terrestrial meats like beef, which sink easily. Like many other bony fish, its tissues and internal spaces average out to mirror the space taken up by the water around it.
From Wikipedia
The rainbow trout is a species of trout native to cold-water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in North America and Asia. The steelhead is an anadromous (sea-run) form of the coastal rainbow trout (O. m. irideus) or Columbia River redband trout (O. m. gairdneri) that usually returns to freshwater to spawn after living two to three years in the ocean.
