Khyber Aquaculture, in partnership with the Jammu & Kashmir Department of Fisheries, has launched a specialised training programme to equip local trout farmers with modern, sustainable aquaculture practices. The initiative, part of the Project No 22 Implementation of Trout Cluster Programme covering Ganderbal and Anantnag, under Holistic Agriculture Development Plan (HADP) designed to transform traditional trout farming into a more scientific, efficient, and resilient industry.
The training brought together progressive farmers from Ganderbal, Bandipora, and Srinagar for an intensive session on ‘Sustainable Trout Aquaculture and Fish Health Management’. Experts guided participants through practical modules on biosecurity, water-quality management, responsible aquaculture, early disease detection, and Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS). A key focus was shifting from reactive treatment of fish diseases to proactive prevention - emphasising routine water monitoring, stress reduction, and early warning systems to safeguard fish health.
The interactive format also allowed farmers to share real-world challenges and explore practical solutions to improve survival rates, growth, and overall farm efficiency.
Umar Tramboo, CMD, Khyber Aquaculture, said, “Capacity building is the cornerstone of a resilient trout sector. By fostering collaboration between farmers, government institutions, and technical experts, we can build a sustainable cold-water aquaculture ecosystem that supports livelihoods, food security, and rural enterprise development in Jammu & Kashmir.”
