D.P.I. trout farming in the Southern Highlands

Abstract

The Department of Primary Industry's trout farming project in the Southern Highlands was started in 1972 and is now coordinated by the Provincial Fisheries Officer there, John Bado. The aim of the project is to help to improve the nutritional status of the people of Papua New Guinea by stocking suitable rivers with trout which will provide a good source of protein when caught and eaten by the local people.
