Fish Release.

All the remaining fish in the spawning raceway will be released back to the Rangitata on Saturday July 8th at 11.00am. For more details and if you want to attend please call Bill Whipp (027 3767538) Robert Clarke (6159149) or Dave Chambers (6159921). Please check with these gentlemen as going across the farm together is important.

Earlier in May there was a slight problem in one of the raceways where a fish feeder malfunctioned and deposited a large amount of food into the bottom of one raceway causing some fish to die of oxygen starvation. Fortunately this was discovered early and it was decided to release the remaining number of fish in the affected raceway to be on the safe side. These fish were of an optimum size for release and consequently there will only be 30,000 to let go on the 8th. Just one of the challenges when working with high volumes of fish.
