Long Chain Omega-3 in Lake Trout

I would like to see an explanation for the long chain Omega-3 in Lake Trout. Where does it come from? If it comes from eating other fresh water organisms, where are they getting it from? Please be as specific as possible, including the scientific name of the freshwater algae that (I assume) is the ultimate source of the Omega-3.

Pelagic

Can you explain what it means for a fish to become pelagic? The link is to a discussion of zones in the water column of the open ocean, so it doesn't seem to answer the question a reader is likely to have when clicking on it. Maybe a change to the pelagic page would help. -Jeff Worthington 00:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Photo shows a brook trout

That sure looks like a brook trout, not a lake trout, in the photo (in the angler's hands). Does anyone have a lake trout photo to contribute? 71.212.81.198 10:02, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Ummm, nope. That's most definitely a laker... — Dave (Talk | contribs) 20:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Range Claims

Not sure why New York is listed as the southernmost self-sustaining population. There are plenty in California.

density

... the density of biomass of lake trout is fairly consistent in similar lakes ...

The article Density is about mass density, the most literal (physical) sense of that word, and I'm wondering whether it's the most appropriate here; though I don't see anything better at Density (disambiguation). The ideal thing would be partial density but that section is only a sentence. —Tamfang (talk) 20:55, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Unlinked. Closest thing I saw at the dab page was Population density which doesn't really apply, being more about individual organisms than biomass (per amount of space). The previous unlinking/relinking was part of a mass Twinkle hiccup. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 21:19, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
