Trout culture in Himachal Pradesh: Problems and Prospects
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Evolution of cold water fisheries particularly the Trout culture through regular stocking of indigenous fish in the mountain water sources, especially in Himachal is one way which has been followed by the state government. Himachal Pradesh has huge prospects for trout farming particularly in the district Shimla, Kinnaur and Kullu. The water and temperature are promising for its culture. However, there have been limitations of availability of seed and its transportation in the state. Besides this, Environmental factors, topographical constraints, socio-economic difficulties and lack of awareness among the farmers have affected the trout production in the state. These constraints need to be overcome to realize the full potential of trout culture in the state. The status of trout culture and the problems encountered by the people in the state are discussed in the present paper.
