New Aquaculture Growing System for Production of Rainbow Trout Fingerlings

Agreement Number:

1019386

Agreement Value:

$30,000.00

Agreement Date:

May 1, 2024 - Dec 31, 2024

Description:

Manitoulin Trout Farm (MTF) require approximately 5 million fingerlings annually for their existing net pen operations. The MTF owned hatchery can produce 15-17% of their annual requirements. This results in MTF depending on other fingerling producers for the remaining fingerlings. MTF plan to incorporate changes at their existing hatchery to allow for a significant increase in production of small fingerlings (< 2.5 grams per fingerling). The goal is to increase annual production from a 1.4 M egg intake to over 2.8 M eggs. Significant number of small fingerlings will be transferred to other facilities at specific times of the production cycle.
