The introduction of trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss<\/em>) into Ecuador took place in 1940s for sport fishing and then after used in aquaculture. According to FAO statistics, trout production from aquaculture amounted 3,200, 3200, 4500, and 6,051 tons in 2013 till 2016 respectively. Rainbow trout aquaculture has developed mostly in the inter-Andean region of Ecuador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is believed that expanding trout culture in Ecuador\nwould be possible in the light of the availability of the many rivers and cool,\nunpolluted waters in the highlands of Ecuador. However, the main problems\nrelated to trout culture need to be addressed; formulating and manufacturing\ntrout feeds suitable for all life stages of trout with a reasonable cost is\nseen a key obstacle at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to enhance the productivity\nand in the same time avoid inbreeding within the rainbow trout, the Ministry of\nAgriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MAGAP) in Ecuador has developed a project\nfor improving the genetic lines of the species through purchasing eggs or fry\nfrom the US, Denmark and Spain. Added to that, the project includes the\nupgrading and equipping of the two trout breeding centers.\n\nAway from aquaculture, the species is commonly found in\nthe rivers and lakes of the country\u2019s sierra region and hence widely available\nin stores and roadside stands.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
