Responsible Production
Salmon trout (rainbow trout) farming is one of the most efficient ways of using natural resources to produce healthy protein. Fish offers low carbon footprint, high energy and protein retention efficiency.
Salmon Trout (rainbow trout) farming is an ideal option for sustainable use of water resources in mountainous regions at dam lakes because there both surface and underground waters are suitable for this purpose.
Meko’s sustainable farming systems increase the overall economic efficiency of the system and minimise negative environmental impacts. Teams in our feed plant (Blacksea Aqua Feed) are working hard to develop sustainable fish feed. Efforts include controlling waste, managing water quality, and implementing responsible feed practices.
Why Meko Salmon trout ?
Meko Salmon trout are rich in;
• High level of omega-3 fatty acids
• High-quality protein
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin B12
• the minerals selenium, iodine, phosphorus and calcium
Not all salmon trout (rainbow trout) are equally nutritious and several variables can affect the nutritional profile of the fish. The most notably the variation across species, fish diets, and production location and method. As we are producers of fish oiland fish meal we define our own feed formulas with high protein and high level of Omega3.
One of the main health benefits associated with Meko salmon trout (rainbow trout) consumption is the high level of omega-3 oils they provide. Omega-3 oils include several fatty acids; of particular importance are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Humans are unable to produce EPA and DHA other than at low levels from consumption of some plant sources, but this is not sufficient to meet the physiological demand of the human body and therefore human diets require additional intake of EPA and DHA from food for optimum nutrition (Tocher et al, 2019). Marine organisms are the only major food sources that contain a naturally high amount of these fatty acids. Health benefits from consumption of EPA and DHA include improved cardiac function (reducing the risk of coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke), lower blood pressure, neural development (particularly in infants) and normal blood triacylglycerols (Tilami and Sampels, 2018).
