Below is a description of the fish that we have for sale each year. Many of our customers are now ordering their fish up to 18 months due to demand exceeding our production capacity. Our harvest season generally runs from October until late March when lower water temperatures mean reduced stress levels for the fish during the entire harvesting and transporting process.
Please contact us for details of the fish we have available for the forthcoming winter and beyond. Now taking orders for late 2010.
These hand selected fish range from 3.5 to 5.5lbs in weight and, during the winter of harvesting, will be 2.5 years old. In the right waters we would expect these fish to be nearing or into double figures a full year after introduction. One exceptional example of the potential of our fish is highlighted by one fishery that received some C3 carp, averaging 4.5lbs, in November 2007 and by the winter of 2008 the front runners had reached in excess of 13lbs. The 2009 / 2010 harvest will be the first year that all of our various Sovereign strains will be available as C3s.
If our C3s aren't special enough then each year we hand select our best 3-summer fish to on grow them for a further summer. We expect these fish to weigh between 7 and 11lbs upon harvest. The fish we have available as C4's are definitely very special and previous spawnings from the same parent brood stock have produced fish that are already approaching 40lbs at only 9.5 years old.
As with our C4 carp we hand select a small number of our best 4-summer fish to on-grow for a further season. These carp really are the cream of the crop and are very special. We would expect these fish to be between 13 - 18lbs at harvest.
Each year we produce a small number of C6+ carp.
These fish are the absolute cream of our fish
having been hand selected over annually for the
previous 5 winters.
