Povestea spectaculoasă a păstrăvăriilor de la poalele munților Făgăraș: de ce erau duși păstrăvii cu elicopterul în munți

Numerous trout farms have been established at the northern foothills of the Făgăraș Mountains, attracting many tourists. The tradition of trout farming in the region dates back to the 19th century, with the first significant farm founded in 1888. This farm aimed to produce fish for repopulating mountain waters. Despite interruptions due to wars, trout farming in Făgăraș evolved, becoming a central hub for supplying trout fry across the country. In recent decades, trout have been transported to remote mountain lakes using helicopters, improving survival rates. The introduction of rainbow trout from North America has also gained popularity due to its adaptability and growth rate.
