Rainbow trout make a fine kettle of fish

A FEW WEEKS AGO, 12 domestic companies, most of which are rainbow trout producers, issued a standard with an aquatic association that classified rainbow trout as salmon. Now, according to media reports, both the price and sales of rainbow trout have dropped. Beijing News comments:

A company called Minze was the main advocate of the standard, even though the standard was greeted with opposition from the public. Now it is suffering: Of the 10 rainbow trout products available in its online shop, four had zero sales in August, all the others had lower sales.

Hollywin Seafood, another company that participated in the drafting of the new standard, has already closed its online shop.
