How it's used
This term is used specifically for the fish species rather than as a general term for all trout. It is rarely encountered in daily conversation unless you are at a fish market or a restaurant specializing in freshwater fish. Most Hong Kongers would simply use the generic term 魚 for most fish unless they are experts or chefs.
