The Aston Trout fish farm specialises in farming trout in the fresh waters of the Aston Valley.

Located in the heart of this magnificent and wild setting, at the foot of the Plateau de Beille, the fish farm was founded in 1952, and enjoys an excellent reputation thanks to the quality of its water, directly supplied by the Aston river and numerous mountain lakes.

The valley's unique environment allows the trout to benefit from ideal growing conditions, close to those of their wild cousins.

Since its takeover in 2017 by Morgan Catala and Amandine Lafon, the operation has experienced new momentum, while preserving traditional know-how.

Life cycle and nutrition:
The Aston trout have a long life cycle, essential for balanced growth. They live in cool water, between 0 and 14°, and are hand-fed with rations calculated according to the average weight of each pond. Their diet is mainly composed of fish flesh, in addition to micro-organisms and insects which the river is naturally rich in.

Commitment to Wellness:
The production team ensures the well-being of the trout on a daily basis. This includes water management, regular oxygen measurements in the water, and gentle hand feeding. To ensure gentle handling, equipment such as a sorter and a mechanical fish pump are used, minimizing stress on the fish by keeping them submerged.

Daily work has only one goal: to offer quality products, while respecting the environment and the natural needs of fish.
