(Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Purpose
for producing stocking material for ranching
for food
Steps
• Brood stock maintenance,
• Spawning
• Incubation of eggs
• Rearing of young fry in nurseries
• Raising of fingerlings/ yearlings in growing ponds
• Raising table fish and brood stock etc.
Site selection for trout farm
Water is the foremost criteria for site selection for trout
culture.
•For Survival-0-250C
•For normal feeding & growth-14-180C
•For spawning & Hatching-9-140C
General Criteria
• Permanent water source
• Water- free from heavy metals and turbidity
• Water in enough quantity
• Water temperature- should below 200C round the year
• Dissolved Oxygen (DO) - more than 7mg/l.
• pH of water - 6.5.to 8.0
• The site should be of 1-3 % slope
• The site should be accessible to road
One litre of water per minute per age- month is needed for every
1,000 fry and fingerlings.
Rearing facility
• For production of table
fish- land area of 1000
m2, having10 concrete
rearing ponds/ raceways
(30-60 m2 having 1 m
depth) with individual
water supply.
• The stocking ponds are
generally graded during
four stages; i) 2-5 gm size,
ii) 10-20 gm size, iii) 50-
60 gm size and iv) more
than 100 gm size.

Efforts & achievement of DCFR
• The Directorate of Coldwater Fisheries Research
(erstwhile NRCCWF), Bhimtal, Uttarakhand has
played pivotal role in development of location
specific feasible and viable Trout farming
techniques, breeding protocols, feed and
standardized husbandry practices at its
experimental Fish Farm, Champawat
(Uttarakhand), State trout farm Bairangna
(Uttarakhand) and in Sikkim, Arunachal pradesh, J
& K and Himachal.
• Rainbow trout was successfully introduced in the year
1999 at Champawat.
• In a culture experiment conducted at the farm the fish
attained maximum growth of 200 gm, 1100 gm, 2100
gm and 3000gm respectively, during 1-4 year’s life
span (Joshi et al, 2005).
• In subsequent efforts the trout yearlings attained
maximum growth of 300-350 g at the farm.
• Produced table size rainbow trout at the farm for the
first time in Kumaon region and sold the surplus
stock to the local people since 14.02.2001.
• At Champawat, during 2005, the hatching of
the stripped eggs completed after 61 days at
water temperature 4.5 – 7.5 °C with a survival
rate of 42.6 % (Joshi, 2009).
• Breeding of rainbow trout conducted at
Champawat during 2009 and produced 12000
eyed ova and 5000 fingerlings with 60%
fertilization, 80% hatching and 61% survival of
fry to fingerling (Incubation period 58 days) at
water temperature 5-12°C.
• During 2010 produced 10000 eyed ova with
71% fertilization, 72% hatching (Incubation
period 54 days) at water temperature 6-14°C.
• During 2010, It was observed
that there was not complete egg
absorption in unused females of
the last year and new eggs were
partially developed.( Temp-6-
24°C)
• This situation was not observed
at Bairangna farm.( Temp- 4-
21°C)
• First time, milt oozing was
observed in yearlings also.
• Fry were obtained from the
eggs of dead female (after 6
hrs.)
( Under out reach activity)
• At Bairangna farm, during 2009
produced 80,000 fry with 82%
fertilization, 64% hatching and 56%
survival. (Incubation period 60 days) at
water temperature 4-12°C.
• During 2010 produced 88,000 fry with
84% fertilization, 86% hatching.
(Incubation period 61 days) at water
temperature 4-11°C. (Breeding is still
continue)
• DCFR further initiated the trout culture
and breeding in Arunachal Pradesh and
in Sikkim (Technical support and
procurement of eyed ova).
