The New Jersey State Fish

The Brook Trout

The State fish is the brook trout, which joined the other State symbols in 1992. This native New Jersey fish received its name from the Pilgrims. The brook trout is very sensitive to pollution and other changes in the environment. Therefore, its presence assures good water quality.
