Two-Headed Trout Causes Controversy In Idaho


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Does the existence of two-headed trout mean things are just fine in Southern Idaho's waterways?

According to The New York Times, that's more or less the conclusion drawn by the J. R. Simplot mining company, which commissioned a study including photos of two-headed trout spawned from fish caught in Southern Idaho creeks.

What's more, the report concludes that levels of the metal selenium should be allowed to reach higher levels than what laws currently permit.

I wonder if they would be half as easy to catch?

Just because you've found a two-headed fish doesn't automatically mean the water is polluted. This type of mutation is seen quite often in many different species of animals from snakes to cats to even humans. The water should be tested, sure, but there's no need to raise a big stink about it.

You're right of course. Still, you can eat them all then :P
