The trout (Onchorhyncus mykiss) is the most popular edible Finnish fish in Finland. It is a delicious and versatile food containing great quantities of vitamin D, healthy omega-3 fatty acids and proteins.

To ensure optimal growth and feed utilisation, the fish are fed using automated feeders controlled by advanced software. The quantity of feed and distribution timing are regulated based on parameters including water temperature, fish size and amount, the oxygen content of the water and the season. This technique ensures optimal feed utilisation while minimising residual waste – all the feed is consumed while guaranteeing the growth and welfare of the fish.

Controlling the whole trout chain, from the fish egg to the smolt and adult fish stages, guarantees high quality raw materials for production.

As we farm our own smolt, we can supply fresh trout year round. The smolt are released to the open net cages when they weigh around 30 grams. Trout will grow over two summers until they reach suitable size of about two and a half kilograms and are ready for the market.

A part of the trout which we farm also produce roe, which we collect in order to produce ‘red caviar’. Trout roe is a valued and tasty delicacy, and the demand for it usually exceeds the supply. We are one of the EU’s largest supplier of rainbow trout roe (red caviar).

Trout roe is also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12. The roe season is between November and January, roe is available either a fresh, frozen or pasteurised product.
