Snowtrout
A snowtrout is any of a number of ray-finned fishes from the Himalayas region. These cyprinids resemble the very distantly related trouts in habitus due to convergent evolution.
Genera containing "snowtrouts" are:
- Diptychus
- Ptychobarbus
- Schizopyge
- Schizopygopsis
- Schizothorax
The species most often called "the snowtrout" is Schizothorax richardsonii, but locally the term may refer to any other snowtrout species.
