This document summarizes trout fish farming in Pakistan. It discusses the two main species of trout used for farming: rainbow trout and brown trout. Rainbow trout typically weigh 2-3 kg and can reach up to 25.4 kg, while brown trout typically weigh 1-2 kg and can reach up to 20 kg. Optimal water conditions for trout production are outlined. Potential locations for fish farms in northern Pakistan are identified. Initial costs, operational costs, expected revenue and profits from a model trout farm are presented. Local and export markets for trout are also discussed.

• Water required about 67–95 litres/min for 1000
adult fish.
• Water exchange minimum 1-2 times/day and
maximum 4-5 times/day.

11. GEOGRAPHICAL POTENTIAL FOR
INVESTMENT
The proposed location for establishment of the
fish farms will primarily be Northern Areas of
Pakistan specially Swat, Kaghan, Chitral,
Murree, Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Jammu
Kashmir that provide suitable environment for
species (trout) with particularly water
temperature.
