==Taxonomy== Originally the golden trout was described as a subspecies of the salmon species, with a name ''Salmo mykiss agua-bonita'',<ref name=cof/> and it is still often considered a subspecies (now called ''Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita'') along with several other rainbow trout subspecies commonly known as [[redband trout]]. [[FishBase]] and the [[Catalog of Fishes]] however now (2014) list ''O. aguabonita'' as an independent species rather than as subspecies of ''O. mykiss''.<ref name=cof>W. Eschmeyer (2014) [http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/research/ichthyology/catalog/fishcatget.asp?spid=10603 aguabonita, Salmo mykiss] Catalog of Fishes. California Academy of Sciences. (accessed 3 Nov 2014)</ref><ref>{{FishBase|Oncorhynchus|aguabonita|year=2014}}</ref> Likewise, while [[ITIS]] lists ''O. m. whitei'' and ''O. m. gilberti'' as subspecies of ''O. mykiss'',<ref name=itis>{{ITIS | id=161989 | taxon=Oncorhynchus mykiss | access-date=27 January 2013 }}</ref> ''O. aguabonita'' instead is listed as a full species.<ref name=itis-mykiss-aguabonita/><ref name=itis-aguabonita>{{ITIS | id=161987 | taxon=Oncorhynchus aguabonita | access-date=27 January 2013 }}</ref>
