The National Research and Development Centre for Riverine and Lake Fisheries (NRDCR&LF), Haa, in collaboration with the Dzongkhag Livestock Sector, Dagana, and Lajab Gewog Administration, successfully conducted the stocking of rainbow trout fingerlings at Mr. Bhim Bahadur Gurung’s farm in Bana Chiwog, Lajab Gewog, Dagana.

A total of 9,000 rainbow trout fingerlings were stocked into his 12 newly constructed raceways. With proper management, good-quality feed, and favourable growing conditions, the farm is expected to produce approximately 2 MT of rainbow trout.

This marks another important achievement towards strengthening commercial rainbow trout farming and contributing to the development of Bhutan’s aquaculture sector.
