why is this wrong

seems very like the other method above

fish.php 
<?php

class Fish
{
    public $common_name;
    public $flavor;
    public $record_weight;

    function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){
        $this->common_name = $name;
        $this->flavor = $flavor;
        $this->record_weight = $record;
    }

    public function getInfo() {
        $output  = "The {$this->common_name} is an awesome fish. ";
        $output .= "It is very {$this->flavor} when eaten. ";
        $output .= "Currently the world record {$this->common_name} weighed {$this->record_weight}.";
        return $output;
    }
}
class Trout extends Fish{
 public $species;



  function __construct($name, $flavor, $record, $species){

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

    function getInfo() {
      $output  = "The {$this->species} {$this->common_name} tastes {$this->flavor}. The record weight is {$this->record}";

        return $output;

    }
$brook_trout = new Trout('Trout', 'Delicious', '14 pounds 8 ounces', 'Brook');
?>

Is it the missing curly brace to close the Trout class?
