‘Franken-trout’ infesting Scottish lochs

A hybrid fish, dubbed ‘Franken-trout’, is rapidly spreading through Scottish lochs, raising concerns among environmentalists and anglers. The fish, a cross between brown trout and rainbow trout, is believed to be more aggressive and resilient than its parent species, posing a threat to native fish populations and the aquatic ecosystem. Scientists are investigating the extent of the infestation and potential methods to control its spread.
