Search for a New Trout

A new species from Mexico, the “Conchos Trout,” has been identified by a team that followed long-lost evidence. A professor at Vanderbilt University gathered information on the trout in the 1880s, but he never formally published a description, and his specimens disappeared. It took eight years of searching for scientists to find the species again in the upper tributaries of the Ri­o Conchos of Chihuahua, Mexico.
