TYPE OF TROUT
Golden trout is the result of crossbreeding a male from California in yellow and female of California trout with standard color. Compared to a standard trout, it has three times more fatty substances in the flesh structure, whose value ranges between 7 and 12 percent
Originated in the Pacific Ocean coast of North America and in Europe it has been transferred in 1882. Spawns two or three years of age in the period from November to March.
(Watercress) is an indigenous and endemic species of trout, characteristic for the waters in the Republic of Macedonia. The color of the body is obvious darker than other trout. This type of spawning trout takes place in the period from November to January.
Trout will not spawn naturally in aquaculture systems, hence eggs are artificially spawned from high quality brood fish when fully mature. Broodstock are selected for fast growth and early maturation (usually after 2 years).
Care of fingerling trout is a critical stage in the life of the trout. Inadequate feeding and care of fingerlings can affect the performance of the trout throughout their life cycle. Izvor has two types of fingerlings: rainbow and river trout fingerlings.
