Møre og RomsdalUrban East Norwegian: [²møːrə ɔ ˈrʊmsdɑːl](
Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe whose territory comprises the western and northernmost portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula; the remote island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard are also part of the Kingdom of Norway. The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part of the kingdom. Norway also lays claim to a section of Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land.
The Langfjorden is a 35-kilometre (22 mi) long arm of the Romsdalsfjord which begins between the most easterly point on the island of Sekken in Molde and Okseneset in Rauma, both in Møre og Romsdal, Norway). The fjord then continues to the east to the village of Eidsvåg in Nesset.
The Mittetelva river runs through the village into the Langfjorden. The river runs through the nearby Mittet valley and the river contains trout and salmon.
Trout is the common name for a number of species of freshwater fish belonging to the genera Oncorhynchus, Salmo and Salvelinus, all of the subfamily Salmoninae of the family Salmonidae. The word trout is also used as part of the name of some non-salmonid fish such as Cynoscion nebulosus, the spotted seatrout or speckled trout.
Salmon is the common name for several species of ray-finned fish in the family Salmonidae. Other fish in the same family include trout, char, grayling and whitefish. Salmon are native to tributaries of the North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. Many species of salmon have been introduced into non-native environments such as the Great Lakes of North America and Patagonia in South America. Salmon are intensively farmed in many parts of the world.
