Pinto


Definition from Proyecto Migra Miño-Minho:
Nombre dado al salmón atlántico en la etapa juvenil de su ciclo vital, entre la fase de alevín y la de esguín.

Example sentence(s):
  • Durante el primer/segundo año de vida, los juveniles (pintos, parrs) permanecen en el rio, hasta que su transformación primaveral en “esguines” (smolts) y posterior migración les lleva hasta el mar. - Proyecto Migra Miño-Minho  
  • Los huevos una vez fecundados eclosionan a los 50 o 60 días y el salmon pasa por las siguientes fases: Alevín vesiculado, Alevín, Pinto y Esguín - Ayuntamiento de San Tirso de Abres  
  • En el medio natural, este pez anádromo desova en agua dulce y los alevines (~ 2 cm) emergen de los huevos, subsistiendo del saco vitelino adherido hasta que llegan a la etapa juvenil, cuando están listos para aceptar alimentos exógenos. Los juveniles permanecen en agua dulce de 2 a 5 años, dependiendo de la temperatura del agua y disponibilidad de alimentos. Antes de migrar, los esguines sufren varios cambios fisiológicos y de comportamiento, en un proceso conocido como “esmoltificación” que los prepara para su vida en el mar. - FAO
