A balanced pond fishery can be
established with the initial
stocking. Maintaining that
balance requires the pond
owner to manage the harvest,
which is usually the most difficult part of pond
management. Although there
are no hard and fast rules for
managing the harvest, the key
is to practice a conservative
harvest. One way is with a minimum size of 14 inches.
Another helpful guideline is to
remove no more than 20 to 25
fish per surface area each year.
Unfertilized ponds, harvest up
to 40 lbs of adult bluegill (about 120 fish) and 10 pounds of adult
bass (about 8 to 10 fish) per
acre per year. Fertilized ponds,
you can harvest 160 pounds of
blue gill (600 to 700 fish) and 35
to 40 pounds of bass (30 to 35 fish) per acre per year. In hervesting it is also good to use a drag net. And also total removal of water in the pond will be of huge help. Call 08032861326 for help and consultancy.
