Laiyuan Rainbow Trout

Laiyuan Rainbow Trout

　　Rainbow Trout: A species of the Salmonidae family, rainbow trout is a highly prized fish. Originally native to the mountain stream waters of the Shasta Mountains on the west coast of California, USA, it was later domesticated. The rainbow trout in China was introduced from Korea. This valuable fish gets its name from the rainbow-like longitudinal stripe along both sides of its body. Renowned worldwide for its rich nutritional value, high protein content, complete amino acid profile, tender texture, and delicious taste—especially when stewed plainly. Laiyuan boasts abundant cold water resources, offering ideal conditions for large-scale development. It is now one of the country’s main breeding and farming bases.
