About fish; live, trout (salmo trutta, oncorhynchus mykiss, oncorhynchus clarki, oncorhynchus aguabonita, oncorhynchus gilae, oncorhynchus apache and oncorhynchus chrysogaster)

HS code 030191 covers the trade of live trout, a highly valuable and sought-after fish species in the global seafood market. Trout farming is a significant industry, providing a sustainable source of protein and contributing to the broader 030100 Fish and crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates sector. As a versatile and nutritious food item, live trout is in high demand across various culinary and commercial applications.

Production process

The production of live trout typically involves aquaculture techniques, where the fish are raised in controlled environments such as ponds, tanks, or raceways. Trout farmers carefully manage the water quality, temperature, and feeding regimes to ensure the optimal growth and health of the fish. The fish are typically harvested when they reach the desired size and market-ready condition.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the live trout industry include freshwater sources, specialized feed formulations, and hatchery-raised trout fingerlings or fry. Trout farms also require infrastructure such as ponds, tanks, or raceways, as well as equipment for water filtration, aeration, and temperature control. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor for the day-to-day operations of the farms.
