Abstract
Belonging to the province of Napo, Quijos canton is located in the middle of the Sierra and Amazon
regions of our country, this strategic location makes the paradise site an attractive addition
aquaculture activities specifically to develop the culture of Rainbow Trout (Onchorichus Mykiss). As
we´ve seen through the routes to that site, in the last decade the community has been dedicated to
small-scale production of such species, which has contributed to the daily livelihood of many in the
sector, but due to the limited training this activity has not developed as it could and indeed is wasting
the existing installed capacity. Found 8 fish farm of which are 6 products that contribute to 44 lb/m2.
Of annual production, they also offer a research and production development class called CENIAC
(Centro Nacional de Investigación Acuícola), located in Papallacta. Of course population growth is
generating jobs and lack of income which leads to the search for news sources and this particular case
the optimization of current resources to help improve the quality of life for members of the community
involved.
