Classic fry farming
Trout and other sport fish are often raised
from eggs to fry or fingerlings and then trucked to streams
and released. Normally, the fry are raised in long, shallow
concrete tanks, fed with fresh stream water. The fry receive
commercial fish food in pellets. While not as efficient as
the New Alchemists' method, it is also far simpler, and has
been used for many years to stock streams with sport fish.
European eel (Anguilla anguilla) aquaculturalists procure
a limited supply of glass eels, juvenile stages of the European
eel which swim north from the Sargasso Sea breeding grounds,
for their farms. The European eel is threatened with extinction
because of the excessive catch of glass eels by Spanish fishermen
and overfishing of adult eels in, e.g., the Dutch IJsselmeer,
Netherlands. As per 2005, no one has managed to breed the
European eel in captivity.
