Trout farming in Adler, Moscow, Karelia. Features of trout business

All sorts of fish delicacies nowadays are very popular. Almost the most loved dishes are dishes made from trout. They breed this "royal fish" including in Russia. Specializing in trout farming, farms operate mainly in Karelia. Also can boast of having a trout farm, Adler. In addition, in Russia there are a lot of enterprises involved in the processing and sale of such fish.

Methods of breeding

There are two main methods that allow the commercial trout to be grown artificially on an industrial scale:

• Cuckoo way. In this case the fish is bred directly in natural large reservoirs. At the same time, their part is enclosed by a grid. In the resulting "cages" and produce fish fry.

• USV. This is a more modern and efficient method, requiring, however, a large initial investment. In this case, the fish is bred in artificial reservoirs using complex equipment.

Trout farms in Karelia

In this republic, both methods are used for breeding "royal fish". The trout farms of Karelia are usually organized with fur farming and fishing enterprises. There are such fish hatcheries, for example, in Sortavala, Pitkyaranta, Kemsky areas.

The cage method of trout breeding is mainly used by enterprises located on the Onega and Ladoga lakes. Since 1996, trout farms of Karelia have started to be organized on the shores of the North Sea. One of the largest at the moment is JSC "Trout".

Of course, there are also enterprises involved in the processing of this fish. As an example, CJSC Sortavalsky Fishery Plant and OJSC Karelrybflot can be cited. Processing modules have been created in the farms engaged in trout breeding.

Sochin farm

The oldest trout farm is located in Adler. Once in the rivers of the Black Sea coast there was a lot of this fish. However, after these places were adapted to the all-Russian resort, trout because of pollution and grinding of water bodies began to be removed. Therefore, the Soviet government decided to organize in these regions an enterprise specializing in the breeding of this fish.

The main purpose of the construction of the complex was to preserve the trout population and provide tourists with tasty dishes from it. The fish farm was built in 1964. Today, this is perhaps the largest trout farm in the country. Sochi can be proud of him by right. In this city, excursions to ponds are sold, including specially for fishermen. Everyone has the opportunity to catch a big fish in the Sochi farm. This, in turn, becomes an additional source of income for the enterprise.

Excursions

Residents of Russia and other countries who come to rest in Sochi, have the opportunity to visit trout farming and see with their own eyes how the "royal fish" is grown.

The farm is located just a few kilometers from Adler airport. Trout is grown here not in cages, but in artificial reservoirs. The length of the ponds is 100 m, width - 10 m, depth - 1.5 m. In total, 111 such ponds are equipped in the farm.

Breeds of fish

Both in Karelia and in Sochi, the rainbow trout is mostly divorced , representing a great economic value. Trout farming Adler, among other things, is working on obtaining new breeds of this fish. For example, only here you can see a special golden trout, called "amber" specialists. This fish is found only in some waters of America.

Blue trout and another special species, spawning twice a year, is also what the mentioned trout farm can be proud of. Adler offers its tourists to look at these unusual breeds of fish. The latter, unfortunately, appeared spontaneously. However, plant breeders working at the plant are trying to bring out a sustainable breed that spawns twice a year artificially. And there are all the prerequisites to the fact that sooner or later they will succeed.

Features of the organization

Despite the fact that today there are modern equipment on the market that allows to organize complexes for the breeding of this fish almost at home, Russian entrepreneurs treat the trout business with a certain degree of caution. It's all about the high risks of organizing such an enterprise.

The technology of growing trout is quite complicated. After all, planting fish in ponds for profit should be fairly dense. If non-compliance with certain methods of feeding, aeration and so on, Fish can simply get sick. And this, in turn, will lead to attacks and big losses.

The second constraint is the need for large investments in the early stages of business. It is worth the equipment intended for trout breeding, quite expensive. Commodity same weight this fish reaches very long. By the third year of life, it weighs about 500 g. At about the same time, it begins and spawns.

Nevertheless, the trout farm is considered quite a profitable business. The annual income of such an enterprise (per 10 tons of fish) may amount to about 3 million rubles. Therefore, the economy of this specialization in Russia is still quite actively being created and developing. As an example, we can cite the same Karelia, where most of these enterprises are just private.

There are similar companies in other regions of the country. For example, a fish farm operates even in Moscow - in Khimki. This is a fairly popular trout farm "Skhodnya", well known to the inhabitants of the capital, growing and realizing also sterlet and carp.
