Farmed
Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout farmed in the U.S. is a "Best Choice" because it’s farmed in an ecologically responsible way.
Consumer Note
All the
trout
in U.S. markets is farm-raised, mostly in Idaho. A small amount of farmed trout is imported into the U.S., but is marketed as steelhead.
Summary
Some types of fish farming pose potential problems. Most carnivorous farmed fish eat more protein than they end up providing to the people who eat them. Also, farmed fish can escape, and they can spread disease to wild populations. Farm waste also can pollute the environment. But trout are relatively efficient at converting their feed into protein, especially with recent improvements in their feed. And escape and
pollution
problems are generally well-controlled in the U.S.
