Salmonidae is a family of ray-finned fish, the only living family of the order Salmoniformes. It includes the well-known salmons and trouts; the Atlantic salmons and trouts of genus Salmo give the family and order their names.

Together with the closely-related Esociformes (the pikes and related fishes), the Salmoniformes comprise the superorder Protacanthopterygii. Salmonids are the primary aquacultural interest of Russia. The ability of the Salmonids to live and prosper in Russia depends on two distinct factors. The first factor of which is the high temperatures and the coastal storms in Southern Russia. The other factor is the extreme temperatures and ice of Northern Russia over long periods of time. The ability of these Salmonids to adapt is crucial to Russian fishing culture.
