Khyber Aquaculture has launched India’s first recirculating aquaculture system (RAS)-based trout farming facility in Kashmir, aiming to improve fish farming standards through technology and controlled production.
The facility uses Danish-bred fingerlings and precision-controlled systems designed to increase survival rates by 25–30%, lower feed conversion ratios (FCR), and reduce pathogen exposure. The company says its approach will offer a consistent and traceable supply of trout to farmers, chefs, and consumers.
Positioned in the Himalayan region, Khyber Aquaculture plans to combine modern aquaculture technology with local environmental conditions. The initiative is focused on clean production methods and aims to contribute to climate-resilient fish farming in the region.
The company says the launch marks a shift in India’s aquaculture sector, introducing new standards for fish health and operational control. Khyber Aquaculture has positioned itself as a platform for scaling trout farming with data-driven systems and localised adaptation.
