Located high in the Maluti Mountains of Lesotho (± 2,200m), Katse Dam offers an environment uniquely suited to the scale production of large Trout in Africa. Driven by exports to the Asian markets the project aims to deliver a premium quality product at globally competitive price.
6 years of project planning, biological and environmental studies have culminated in Highlands Trout receiving a license to practice aquaculture in Katse Dam in June 2011.
Stocking has commenced with the first generation of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) aiming for a first harvest of 500T in late 2012.
