What is a parent of a parr?

A parent of a parr is a mature salmon or trout that has spawned and laid eggs, which eventually hatch into fry that develop into parr. The term "parr" refers to the juvenile stage of salmonids, typically characterized by their distinct vertical stripes. These young fish rely on their parents for the initial stages of life, as the eggs are fertilized and protected by the female before hatching. After hatching, parr continue to grow and develop in freshwater environments before migrating to the ocean as smolts.
