The post-glacial divergence between brown trout and atlantic salmon is a pretty interesting subject. Even just within the brown trout species, there are at least ten variations.

When Linnaeus in Sweden started his classification work, he came up with three types of brown trout: S.trutta, the trout of large rivers; S.fario, the trout of small brooks; and S.criox, the migraratory sea trout.

A few years ago a Buddy of mine-who is a Swede-was back there and fished from the Arctic Circle to the Baltic Sea.
He has pictures of two very distinct types of Brown Trout caught in the same river.

I believe that the brown trout adipose fin is spotted, while atlantic adipose fins are not.

I have only seen and caught an "Atlantic" once,Vedder river at the gun barrel several years ago.I have seen dozens in the U.K. I would say the huge black spots are what first catches the eye,even on the gill plates large scales no spots on the tail, never counted them but are supposed to have between 8 - 11 rays on the anal fin .the fish I caught was very ragged, tail, dorsal, and pectoral fins were all cluby, especially the tail this fish was given to the hatchery as per regs.
