Fish Health

Maintaining healthy stock is essential to profitable farming. Growing healthy farmed fish requires high quality, nutritious feed, maintaining reasonable stocking densities, ensuring good water quality, limiting sources of stress or outside threats such as plankton blooms and predators, acquiring and developing good quality, healthy fish stocks to start with. Good fish husbandry relies on vaccination, the judicious use of antibiotics, disease screening and vigilance in all aspects of caring for the fish.
