Shaurya Agarwal, co-founder of Blue Wave Aquaculture, aims to not only bring quality RAS-produced rainbow trout to discerning Indian consumers, but also provide a model to catalyse a new industry in his homeland.
According to Agarwal, there’s a significant demand for trout in India but consumers face a fairly unpalatable choice – they can either opt for domestically-grown fish that aren’t always produced to a high standard, or rely on expensive alternatives that have been imported from Norway and Denmark.
It’s a situation that Blue Wave aims to capitalise on – by producing premium trout products in India at a significantly lower cost. Indeed, according to Agarwal, while the industry average for producing trout via RAS globally hovers around $26 per kg, Blue Wave’s production costs should be $10 per kg less, thanks to lower labour, transport and energy costs.
