Synopsis (short abstract) Provides background and general information with illustrations and tables on rainbow trout, including, common, scientific and foreign names, distinguishing features, distribution, length and weight, and chemical composition. Advises on handling fresh trout, chilling, freezing, brining and hot smoking, yield, packing, and on the storage life of chilled and frozen hot smoked fish. Emphasises that since hot smoked trout is ready for eating without further cooking, it is important that the salt co ncentration in the product and the temperature of distribution is such that food poisoning bacteria such as Clostridium botulinum cannot grow. It makes the important distinction between the salt content and the salt concentration in the water phase of the product. More recent advice recommends a minimum salt concentration of 3.5% (weight by weight) in the water phase and keeping the product chilled below 5°C throughout the distribution chain. Particular attention should be given to the contro l of the botulinum risk if the product is to be vacuum packed ,because C. botulinum can grow in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic conditions), and because of the inhibition of competing spoilage organisms.Gaping is not a problem in trout that are sold whole, but an increasing amount of large trout are now sold as fillets and gaping can be a problem.

    In the Islamic Republic of Iran, 23 million people in rural areas 30 percent of the population) depend for their income on the agriculture sector, including forestry and fisheries The sector’s share of gross domestic product has declined in the last two decades and is currently 11 4 percent Variability of rainfall and natural disasters such as floods, droughts and climate change, have major impacts on agriculture, including the fishery sector Iran is the largest fishery producer in the region It has a coastline of 5 800 km, with a fishery sector based on marine fisheries that includes demersal and pelagic resources in the Persian Gulf as well as clupeid fisheries and valuable sturgeon fisheries in the Caspian Sea The sector is an important source of foreign exchange, despite being challenged by a lack of coordination and inadequate links with research, and inadequate quality control, processing, conservation and marketing Inland fishing in Iran is limited however, aquaculture is emerging and has steadily increased over the last decade.

    The purpose of this publication is to give a clear understanding of the project objectives to the stakeholders and expose them to the latest technical developments in terms of the Genetic Improvement of Rainbow Trout Project in Iran. The content is composed of project highlights, information on national breeding program, capacity development, and achievements. As identified in the project document in order to improve the visibility of the project and for ease of communication in knowledge sharing and improvement of local collaboration with participation of farmers as the ultimate beneficiaries of the project, the communication and advocacy materials should be shared.
