Scotland's Frandy Trout Farm: Though deceptively simple on the outside, Frandy TYout Farm is elegantly efficient on the inside, producing up to 11 million rainbow trout/ingerlings per year

摘要

At the entrance to Frandy Trout Farm there is a plaque on the wall that holds an old piece of corrugated iron, and below it a note reading, "This piece of iron was part of the grading tank of the old Cloan Hatchery at Frandy, which was demolished on the 3rd November, 2003. It is estimated that 280,000,000 fish have passed through it." Today, the hatchery which has undergone a complete refurbishment in staged phases from 2001-2005 and has changed ownership this year from Scot Trout to Dawn Fresh Seafood's, continues to be one of the main suppliers of trout fmgerlings in the UK. It is also one of the most modern and efficient facilities and on entering the farm, one is struck by the air of quiet competence and tidiness obvious in the farm itself and the staff working there.
