Trout Farming Handbook Summary

Trout Farming Handbook by Stephen Drummond Sedgwick

Rainbow trout can be an excellent economic proposition for farming in temperate waters. The husbandry needed is simpler, and the fish take a year less than Atlantic salmon to grow to equivalent size. The fifth edition of this handbook covers the latest developments and new opportunities particularly for rainbow trout farming in the sea. The design and construction of trout farms is outlined and the following stages of trout production are dealt with in detail: hatching and fry production; fish feeds and feeding; hygiene and the prevention and treatment of disease; and the management of brood stock. Processing and marketing are discussed together with ways and means of increasing profitability. Special attention is given to the prevention of pollution and protection of the environment. The book provides not only a primer but a working manual for trout farmers in fresh and salt water, and is intended for the professional fish farmer and student of aquaculture.
