<?php
class Trout extends Fish
{
  public $species;

    function __construct($name, $flavor, $record, $species)
    {
        parent::__construct($name, $flavor, $record);
          $this->species = $species;
    }

I believe that

public $species;

Is what you're looking for.

So you should have:

class Trout extends Fish {
  function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){
        $this->common_name = $name;
        $this->flavor = $flavor;
        $this->record_weight = $record;
  }
  public $species;

Sorry, got that styling off:

class Trout extends Fish {
  function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){
        $this->common_name = $name;
        $this->flavor = $flavor;
        $this->record_weight = $record;
  }
  public $species;
