Enhancing rainbow trout production on Lake Oașa through the installation of floating fish aquaculture tanks.

© Agricultural cooperative: Trout from your country

This project, by the agricultural cooperative ‘Trout from your country’, aims to produce up to 375 tonnes of rainbow trout annually at Lake Oașa by setting up 32 floating fish tanks and investing in modern equipment, including fish pumps, sorters, and automated feeding systems. It includes the acquisition of transport vehicles, such as a refrigerated lorry and a live fish transport van, to ensure efficient distribution.

The fish farm, situated on a 96-square-metre floating barge, will start with 70 tonnes of trout in the first year and gradually increase to 375 tonnes by the third year. The initiative will create five new jobs and serve as a model for sustainable fish farming, combining high production with environmental protection.

Results

  • Installation of 32 floating fish tanks and modern equipment
  • Production of over 375 tonnes of rainbow trout per year
  • Creation of five new jobs
  • Set up of a model for sustainable fish farming practices in Romania
