Sport and Lesiure Fisheries - Stock Fish, Coarse Fish, Carp Stocking, Shropshire, England, UK
Description
Malthouse Farm is our brand new, purpose built, forty acre fish farm in Shropshire, designed solely to produce strong healthy carp for restocking. Our brood fish are kept in ideal conditions off the site and collected up in the early spring before being taken to our state of the art hatchery for spawning. Here they are spawned artificially to ensure that only the best males and females are used. The eggs are incubated until they hatch and the fry reared until they are six days old. After six days they are taken to the farm and stocked into carefully prepared out door fry ponds. These ponds are dried out and limed each winter to ensure that there can be no risk of disease or parasites affecting the tiny fry. They are filled with water a few weeks before the new fry are ready for stocking out. The fry are fed on a mixture of very special natural and artificial diets which ensure that they get the perfect start to life.
At the end of the summer, the fry will have grown to 4-6 inches in length and are ready for sale as young fish or stocking into one of our large production ponds for growing for another year or two. These are ponds of between one and three acres which have been carefully constructed to produce the ideal conditions for growing carp. They are all completely drainable and are regularly drained, dried out and limed to ensure we produce strong healthy fish.
Typically, one summer fish are up to six inches in length, two summer fish up to 10” and three summer fish up to around three pounds.
