trout farming
Raising freshwater fish
Trout farming is the commercial raising of trout in controlled environments—ponds, tanks, or raceways fed by flowing water.
The fish are bred for food or to stock recreational waters.
Rainbow trout dominate the industry because they adapt well to captivity and grow quickly: The trout farming operation produces half a million pounds annually.
