The research studied totally 19 farms; 78.9% of which were inland farms whereas 21.1% operated in the net cages. As for the legal status of the farms, 63.2% were private, 31.6% limited liability and 5.3% joint stock companies. The analysis of manpower of the farms showed that family manpower ratio was 1.32 manpower unit (MU). The highest MU was 0.84 for men and 0.12 for women for an age range of 15 to 49. It was determined that the inland trout farms had an active capital amount over ¨465 068 whereas those of the net cages was over ¨294 401. The operating costs of farms using net cages were ¨133 382 whereas those of the inland farms were ¨123 252. Feeding cost had the highest share in overall operating costs. Average profitability was 41.48% for the inland pond farms and 30.28% for the net cage farms.
