How I BREED TROUT in my Backyard Aquaponics (Producing thousands of fingerlings!) 

*The achievement of this project is a real milestone for me. I hope you enjoy as much as I do :)*

I’m an avid fly fisherman and gardener, and this is awesome.

Great video. I have been raising rainbow trout in my backyard for years. I live in Utah(United States). Your information is exactly correct and it matches my experience as well. It is a fun hobby. I really enjoy it. Thanks for your videos.

Wow! This is amazing. Congratulations on your achievement. I’m just now looking into aquaponics for the first time and came across your videos. This is very different and much nicer than anything I’ve seen. I’d love to add something like this to my growing little homestead. Thank you!

Congratulation on your innovation and inspiration for Backyard Aquaponics.

Brilliant! Thank you Aquaponics Revolution for sharing this video on aquaponics. Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!

Trout are delicious. Working in the trout hatchery must have been very educational. Well done.

Can I breed trout in Florida ?

A most enjoyable video to watch, very informative, very serious, with a relaxed presentation.

Amazing! I am new to aquaponics and find your videos fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

Love it ! This knowledge helps empower people to be more self sufficient. Thank you for sharing this with us, I want to do the same.

The achievement of this project is astonishing!

Great idea? Feed them natural food sources and you can eat them. Better idea then a goldfish pond.

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing. I've got a trout stream running through our property. It used to be stocked yearly w rainbow trout but hasn't been in years. There's still a small population in there but I rarely catch them anymore. 3 waterfalls in the 20 miles it runs so the upper area doesn't have many. Would love to try this. I'm just learning aquaponics so this might be above my skill level. But I would love to be able to let the little ones go in the stream.

Mate massively impressed. This is next level. Well done!!

Marvelous work

That's very impressive. You are a true innovator. I really enjoyed the video, congratulations on your success!

This is awesome. Greetings from the Caribbean.

Thank you for all the information on your awesome setup, it’s nice to see a local doing it really good job. I’m in Melbourne and I miss having my aquaponics running. I might have to pop by to get some trout from you if I get it all set up again.

In which climate is your trout pond? And will this work in Massachusetts?

This is amazing thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you for posting this video.

Interesting subject, never heard of aquaponics before. Would like to see more videos on the subject. Thanks for sharing this video.

Wow there’s gold here. Thanks❤

I'm so glad I came across your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! New subscriber.

Champion 🏆

This is so cool this is my end game too

That is incredible! wish my wife would let me do something like this

Congratulations Jonathan!How I wish Ican do the same,THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge about natural Aquaphonics which I think The Lord long been put in my hear,God bless you richly,Brother Jonathan.Shalom Shalom.

8:12pm NZ TIME 16 Jan 2024 amazing for my beginners journey into aquaponics and hopefully trout as my fish choice especially living in South Island Trout Country👍

If you have them in a light deprevation greenhouse you can spawn them even more frequently

all the Americans: 'what is this Celsius you speak of ?????" 🤣

Thank you.. I am inspired :)

Merci Mr trout dude 🐟

Great Video about the breeding in your aquaponic system. I live in the black forest where we have lots of trout hatcheries, and i can catch the trout in the river in front of my house. So in our backyard we are growing carp, just to try it out.

Thank You ..

Amazing video

AMAZING 👍🏾😇

Thank you. Subscribed~!

Great video also the french accent 👌

👌 I'm inspired

Trout breeding is my favorite PH category.

This is super cool!!

Bless their little cotton socks 😂👍🏻

What should be the ideal temperature for trout to survive?

This is awesome! Wish there wasn't racoons here or I would try this in my yard too. Using this video to learn how to do it.

Great video 👍🏻

Cool

So if I had a lake or pond an I installed a water flow system would the trout breed themselves?

I hadn’t considered trout for my garden because it isn’t readily available here in the southern US. I found you while searching for an option that isn’t grown in a monoculture. I do love fish and I adore fish eggs, every kind so far. That makes this an option. Still, even with all these marks checked we are extraordinarily fortunate to have an expert explain the process, benefits, pitfalls and joys of farming trout in a natural environment. The natural food source is my favorite aspect of this process as farmed fish tastes like the food it eats - meaning it tastes bad. I have other interests. I wonder if I could use the water from the small river nearby to power a turbo (underground) then deliver a small portion of it my aquaculture garden before returning to the river? This would give me power and local water without interfering with the river’s path in any significant way. Just thinking…

Bravo!

That is an amazing video! Thank you! Can this be done in hotter weather area like south Florida?

Watching a man jack off 2 fishes wasn't on my list of things for 2023, but was actually interesting. Aquaponics are in general a very cool concept, if one day I own a big enough house I will give this a shot

Is there a video of yours that shows how you keep the water cold enough for trout? Or are you just in a very cold climate?

This is amazing! If one were to have a small stretch of a creek(fast flowing) would it be possible to breed in it-- and would it be more efficient?

very nice

Would this be a project that could be attempted by someone with no prior experience in aquaculture? I’ve had lots of experience keeping fish tanks. I think a trout pond would be an awesome way to supply food for myself one day in the future. My goal is to one day be completely self reliant with my food. I’m glad that you choose to go the no chemical route. Being eco friendly is half of the reason I try to be more self reliant.

You are ingenious!! Why not breed your own food. Only if more people think like you! Thanks for your time and information.

Do you have to buy them dinner first? 😂 Seriously though, great job! You have made me hungry for some fresh trout! But aquaponics is something I have always been interested in. You got my sub!

Great breeding... 👍👍👍 I must learn from you

C'est fascinant :)

This is awesome. I’m interested in getting some fingerlings for myself. Where would be the best place to contact you for some help around this? Thanks!

Do you sale them or how to get them in California thank you and very happy for your success!

Hi!!! great video! just one questiong to know if it would work for me... i live in the extreme south of argentina, in Tierra Del Fuego, here we have trouts everywhere, but i want to make an aquaponics system. you cover in your training the case of freezing winters? and how to mantain the system in freezing temperatures?

Salut, do you know anything about how to sterilize the fish in your hatchery?

Great video! Fascinating! Can you tell us anything about the brood trout you started with? Any hybrids?

Fishing in Warragamba dam as a kid i was so certain that the scores of smelt were baby trout. Put about 20 in my empty coke bottle and a 3 hour walk home through enough terrain and about 3 smelt survived to my fishtank

Hi just watched your Vidio i'm quite interested in Aquaponics and also in trout. Got a set up in my yard in melbourne that i think could be converted to aquaponics quite well. I'm not sure in melbourne where your located but was hoping to speak with you to see what you think, cheers Tim

What do you do with them???

Amazing. I love it. Where did I get your original donor trout..eggs and sperm first time,? . Is there any problem in using wild trout donors over farmed donors? As an angler I know about triploids. What are the advantages of these over brook or other types? Cheers.

hi, can you please tell me what is that round thing you have inside the plastic containers? it looks like a strainer to prevent the fingerlings from being sucked out. Where can I get it from if you do not mind or how to build it? thanks

What do the little fish eat?

May I ask how many and what strains of Salmonids you breed?

I am very encouraged by trout aqua. Its a committed effort of yours. Just to understand which country is this. Can trout breed in tropical countries like Sri Lanka.

Please try for walleye !!!

I'm not in the position to get into hydroponics for myself, but I would love to volunteer with the local hatcheries here in northwestern WA. I don't know how easy it would be to do so being that I don't have a degree in biology or fisheries management. I recently became aware of naturally spawning king salmon in Patagonia Chille that was introduced some time in the late 70's or early 80's. They used king salmon from the Columbia river as well as other surrounding rivers in WA state. I would think this was a big operation but there is no record of this being done. Obviously this was done in secrecy which I can understand why. I say it looks like a big operation because they have 4 specific king salmon runs. Spring, summer, fall, and winter. Currently I'm saving up money to experience it for myself. Knowing what little I know about hatchery salmon and steelhead I'm still convinced there has to be a better way to mimic naturally occurring spawning and egg maturation. The biggest problem I see is that natural selection isn't being done. Nature shows that big females spawn with big males. The males fight off other males and usually the biggest and strongest win. That's why the fish used to be bigger not long ago. Enough of the ranting😊 Thanks so much for the video it really sparked some thought, enough so that I will be seeking to work as a volunteer.

I've always been interested in trout for aquaponics but their temperature needs have always stumped me. How do you maintain the low temperatures they need in the heat of the summer?

Very informative n well explained thank u 🙏 Currently will b moving from flat to bungalow so will b looking to do this fir my self subsistence living

Buddy do ya sell the eggs ? I want to get some for my future greenhouse pond . Great video Walio!

I just want to know if this would be possible in FL😭

Do you release some in the wild?

This is amazing! How do you get the roe,fry or fish

Sounds incredible, but I can't wait a year just them hatch to near fry as you state 330 days

Very cool!

I live in central TX where temps range from 100F in summer to 20F for periods in winter. I have this idea to create a natural stream using geothermal cooling and solar pumps to support a small population of trout, and am wondering now whether I can incorporate aquaponics in my project to create shade and insect life. But my fear is hot summers and cold snaps in winter will kill my fish. And I fear the pumping will raise the temperature of the water as you need quite a lot of HP to push enough water to make even a small stream say 5' wide and 6" average depth, with a head of say 10'. That HP becomes heat.

would I need a water cooler since I live in a warm state here in the u.s? what is a good temp to raise them at?

i have a 40 acre farm with 2 wet weather streams and a pond. i want to have trout in my pond and them breed. can you offer advice?

Washington fish and game would be all over you!

How did the trout breeding go? They should be big enough to add to the aquaponics by now. Successful growing can be a challenge, hope you succeeded.

Will Brook trout hybridize with other trouts if left in the same pond?

I like trout. 'where is your pond?

My dream too.

I just tried to sign up but avast web security blocked access to your site for a script-inf warninig..?

This is INCREDIBLE 👏👏👏👏

After the Gamete Harvesting, are both trouts still alive and able to produce subsequent harvests?

Good stuff, i have been thinking about trout roe for the last couple of years.

0:09 you know what you're ......nevermind..

Wow thats actualy amazing well done

What is the advantage of squeezing the eggs and sperm out, as opposed to letting the fish reproduce normally? I’m curious :)

Great channel sir. I don't like Trout, is Salmon possible?
