What is it about?

Rainbow trout culture require high altitude for raceway construction to get crystal-clear and coldwater with high dissolved oxygen and optimum pH for its breeding and cultivation.

Why is it important?

For selecting an area for the cultivation of rainbow trout one should be quite cofident about the physico-chemical parametes like water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH of the water carried in the raceways from permanent, dependable, and perennial spring-fed, glacier-fed, or lake-fed stream or river at high altitude so far its feasiblity or suitability for the culture is concerned.

Perspectives

This will help a fish farmer seeking for starting rainbow trout culture because feasibility and suitability level of almost all required parameters are given in detail.
