- Xinjiang uses meltwater from snow-capped mountains to farm trout, despite being thousands of kilometers from the sea.
- Large-scale trout farming in Xinjiang began in 2021 and has rapidly expanded, with more farmers entering the sector.
- Estimated output of trout in Xinjiang last year exceeded 10,000 tonnes.
- Reduced dependence on imported fish eggs is expected to further accelerate the growth of the aquaculture industry.
