A low GHG approach for the integrated production of Rainbow Trout utilizing Alberta dugouts and ponds.
FY 2021-22 · 2021-05-10
Summary
The TRI-GEN approach to sustainable aquaculture is to identify and utilize physical characteristics that are unique to the local area. For Alberta there is the ability to produce natural foods for fish i.e. Gammarus shrimp, and also has a high Solar radiance and an abundance of freshwater ponds and dugouts for trout and integrated plant production.
Our objective is to utilize the above resources for the summer production of Rainbow trout and plant products for local market opportunities. Producing Rainbow trout with an integrated plant system using a modified net pen and innovative air lift technology will reduce GHG/kg produced.
The result is production of high value products produced in a sustainable manner.

Description (French)
L'approche TRI-GEN de l'aquaculture durable consiste à déterminer et à utiliser les caractéristiques physiques qui sont uniques à la région locale. En Alberta, il est possible de produire des aliments naturels pour les poissons, par exemple des crevettes Gammarus, et la région bénéficie également d'un rayonnement solaire élevé et d'une abondance d'étangs et de mares d'eau douce pour la production de truites et de plantes intégrées. Notre objectif est d'utiliser les ressources ci-dessus pour la production estivale de truites arc-en-ciel et de produits végétaux pour les possibilités du marché local. La production de truites arc-en-ciel, à l'aide d'un système intégré de plantes utilisant un enclos en filet modifié et une technologie innovante de levage par air, réduira les GES/kg produits. Le résultat est la production de produits de haute valeur obtenus de manière durable.
