Trout - A Healthy Choice!

Trout is naturally low in sodium and calories. It also has high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, which have been proven to lower blood triglycerides and cholesterol levels, reduce risk of death from coronary and cardiovascular disease, reduce blood pressure and relieve the pain of rheumatoid arthritis.

The USTFA is the oldest commercial aquaculture trade organization in the United States!

The USTFA was organized in 1954 by a group of trout farmers interested in creating a strong, unified voice for the national trout industry. It has grown steadily ever since and now has members in nearly every state and some foreign countries. In 1956 the association began publishing the first magazine in commercial aquaculture, US Trout News & American Fishes.

The materials on this website are informational for those interested in knowing more about aquaculture and trout production. The USTFA does not take responsibility for any information contained in these materials and makes no claims about their accuracy or reliability.
