I was gonna say an atlantic salmon parr, but the adipose fin is orange... its most likely a young brown trout

Ooh, from MA.
Well, what I can tell you is that MA does not have any breeding Salmon maybe except for the landlocked ones. Salmon going upriver (I think the Meriamck River is the only river in MA where they return to) are taken to a hatchery to be stripped of eggs when they reach a fish lift. The males are stripped of milt and the eggs are mixed with the milt. The eggs are then hatched and released when they are fry (not alevin). They also send some to middle schools for the ASERP program. The only river that I know of for that program is the merrimack river. Most of them don't make it because the pH of the water inhibits their ability to regulate the amount of salt in their bodies and they die during the transition to saltwater. New England's acid rain is the culprit.

The Stillwater has breeding landlocked salmon from Wachuset res.
Also wild brown and brook trout.
Coulda been any of those.

out in nova scotia atlantic salmon ID is key, it doesnt have a clear adipose fin so it isnt a LL salmon, and the coloration doesnt suggest brook trout (at least telling by the blur), so im sticking to my guns

Yeah I meant to post early that there are breeding salmon in there. As well as the quinapoxit (spelling) river I think. But I think there are other streams that have breeding salmon. Listed as cold water fisheries on the website as meeting one of 3 criterias. Mikez do you wanna go out sometime and collect? Ill be at the cape next week and know nothing about where to go if you could go to the cape. That would be cool.
