FRESH WATER FISH

OUR FISH

You can use almost any type of freshwater fish in aquaponics. It’s the same cycle of converting fish waste into natural fertilisers which the plants absorb, cleansing the water for the fish; much the same as natural streams or rivers.

WE HAVE CHOOSEN

RAINBOW TROUT

At SCOFF we have chosen to use Rainbow trout for a number of reasons:

  • They are well-suited to the water temperature and weather climate we have here on the farm.
  • They are suited to the type of produce we are currently growing.
  • They grow at an extremely fast rate and can be ready from fingerling* to food within 12-16 months.
    (*Very small, young fish)

They taste great!

The usual weight at which our trout are sold ranges between 350 – 700 grams.
