Salmo platycephalus, known as the flathead trout,critically endangered.[1]
Genetic evidence suggests that the flathead trout may indeed be derived from introduced brown trout (Salmo trutta) and thus not be a distinct species of its own. Nevertheless, it is a unique form which requires protection.[3]
