Characterization of rural small-scale rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) farms in Mexico

ABSTRACT Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) production has developed rapidly, particularly in the highlands of central Mexico. The objective of this study was to characterize rainbow trout production systems based on factor and cluster analysis. Data were collected for 21 variables from 71 trout pr...

The objective of this study was to characterize rainbow trout production systems based on factor and cluster analysis. Data were collected for 21 variables from 71 trout production units (TPU) through semi-structured interviews. Four groups were obtained.

These groups have the potential to scale up their operations. Group 2: small-scale family TPU, and Group 4: small-scale artisan TPU, are less organized, based on family labor, have lower yields, and sell their products at the farm gate or to small restaurants.

Public policies, government support schemes, growth of markets, and high demand for trout have favored all four groups.
