We grow trout so the next generation still has something to grow

For Trout Valley, sustainability isn't a marketing slogan. It's an operational decision built into every stage of production.


Ecology as engineering

01.

Water

The RAS system recirculates up to 99% of its water. Producing 1 kg of trout requires roughly 30 L — versus 300–500 L in traditional cage operations. Discharge into natural water bodies is minimal and controlled.

02.

No antibiotics

The closed growing environment removes contact with external pathogens. We don't use antibiotics — not because the law requires it, but because the right technology leaves no need for them.

03.

Feed efficiency

A feed conversion ratio of ~1.15:1 — 1.15 kg of feed per 1 kg of fish weight gain. Far better than chicken, pork, or beef.

04.

CO₂ emissions

Land-based RAS production generates 60–85% fewer greenhouse gases. Local production = shorter logistics = a smaller carbon footprint.

Certification

Our standards meet HACCP requirements. We are moving towards international ASC and ISO 22000 certification.

HACCP

Food safety. Our standards meet HACCP requirements at every stage.

ASC

Aquaculture Stewardship Council. We're moving toward international certification for responsible aquaculture.

ISO 22000

Food safety management systems. Our target standard for quality and production-safety management.
