Abstract
In this chapter, we describe systematics and geographical distribution of Atlantic salmon and brown trout and factors important for their success in natural systems. Both are cold water species from the northern hemisphere, but due to human aquaculture and stocking, they now occur in most parts of the world offering suitable habitats.
