Steelhead are actually just ocean run rainbow trout. Rainbow trout - Salmo Gardenari, Steelhead - Salmo Gardenari Gardenari. Pretty sure that's correct but don't have my notebook from the post-graduate fisheries management course I took in
Good stuff, I believe the difference lies in rainbows are considersed "landlocked" and spawn and live in freshwater, while steels are anadromous ie go out to sea and return to freshwater to spawn.
Same distinction lies with Atlantic Red salmon and kokanee; kokanee are genetically the same, just never leave freshwater. Not all salmonids are in these categories, pretty interesting.

Need to look thru my bookmarks and find link, but there is something like 130+ cases for different Cannabis spp. Nomenclature.
If we are going to simplify, I say start with chemotype genotype, then phenotype as categories.
I would like to see more data collected and used on breeding coeffiecients and someone posted something back on hardy weinberg principle, but didnt account for dioecious diploids, which is fine if you want to investigate monoecious ttraits, aka 99% or more of what are termed "herms", like hemp varieties, most of which are monoecious both fiber and seed bearing varieties.
The Hw principle can generate allelle and genotype frequency within your pool. So if using regular filial generated seeds you must account for allele variation in dioiecious [separate male female plants and 7% of plant life, including cukes, willows, stinging nettle, hops and kanna] plants, but an interesting tool without lab analysis.
On the horizon is chemotype solidly linked to genotype and I believe at least in commercial manufacture, phenotypical crap will be done away with, basically all foklore legends of male selection, lol.
I see alot of mention towards phenotypical traits and personally like this method the least, it works but leads to some unneccesary dead ends. I almost never select for weight or looks, always the pharacology first...just my add.
Stay high
