Design & Creation of Trout Life-Cycle Habitats

We have focused our work on defining the difference between trout as an agricultural product
verses trout as a genetic resource. We are dedicated to developing wild or nearly wild
trout habitats to meet the demands of recreational and environmental needs.

Aquatic Alternatives® has over one hundred years
worth of experience (two generations) with Salmonid's.
Our trout habitats are designed to withstand
environmental stressors unique to various drainages.

1)       When we create new trout habitats we design them to mimic wild-like conditions, we create
          spawning habitats, which promote natural selection and offer opportunities for the development
          of drainage specific trout populations.
2)       We also create these habitats to promote their own natural forage
          development by using the power of falling water, solar energy
          and wind.
3)       Our trout habitats are specifically designed for the unique
          requirements of all age classes and species of trout. We create
          areas to facilitate passive migration of young of the year, offer
          easy access to forage and protect against seasonal extremes.

Our work focuses on building and developing the following:

          - Exceptionally productive spawning habitats:
                  We improve spawning in wild situations
                  We maximize yields of wild trout by improving recruitment
    - Development of Forage Organisms:
        To meet the demands of all age
        classes of trout
    - Direct free nutrients into food chains
        to sustain maximized populations
        of trout
    - Minimize the dependence on
        chemical and mechanical
                                                                              management tools
          - Create passively driven systems that look as if they were always part of the natural environment
