FALKLANDS HATCHERY UP AND RUNNING

摘要

A new trout hatchery and accompanying sea cage site is ramping up production on these remote islands in the south Atlantic Ocean.The pilot project funded by a local commercial investor, Fortuna Ltd, will assess the potential of breeding and growing-out brown trout (Salmo truttd) in the Falkland Islands.The trout are not native to the islands, but were successfully introduced by settlers in the 1940s. They now thrive in the islands' rivers where broodstock for the hatchery are taken using electrofishing.
