Freshwater fishes with quality

Arctic Charr (Salvelinus alpinus):
Genuine domestic Arctic Charr from populations of alpine lakes. The fish are raised in illuminated submerged net cages
with live zooplankton and therefore are extremely vital and of high stock value. Tests
with marked fish have shown that fingerlings of 3-5 cm is the most economic size for
stocking, as the adaption of much bigger fingerlings to the lakes is more difficult. The
domestic Arctic Charr is suitable for reservoir and alpine lakes as well as dams and for
the production of seafood. A high growth rate in cold water as well as an excellent meat
combined with a nice colour and large sizes are main characteristics. Also available is
the fast growing Swedish Hornavan breed which reaches sexual maturity very late.
Lake Trout (Salmo trutta labrax f. lacustris):
Descendants of domestic Lake Trout of the "Wolfgangsee" breed (Black Sea Trout)
wich are raised in netcages.
Suitable as stock for reservoirs, alpine and dredge lakes and dams, also for the
production of seafood (HVS - resistant). The lake trout tolerates high watertemperatures,
grows fast and reaches a weight of over 20 kg per fish. Excellent results have already
been achieved with restocking projects. The fish moves in rivers for spawning.
Whitefishes (Coregonus lavaretus):
Various populations and breeds are available. Suitable for stocking in lakes and dams,
also as live bait for professional fishing as well as valuable food for fishfeeders such
as lake trout and pike. Systematic stocking of fry in large quantities proves to be most
economic. Results achieved in practice have shown that in lakes, profits of up to 100 kg
per hectare and year are possible.
Grayling (Thymallus thymallus) and Danube Salmon (Hucho
hucho):
The breeders are caught in springtime in various rivers. Since some years we hold also
breeders in captivity. A special feed guarantees relative high fertilization rates.
Raising takes place with live zooplankton
and later on also with dryfood.
Pike (Esox lucius), Pike-Perch (Sander lucioperca)
and Burbot (Lota lota):
The breeders are catched in lakes and rivers. Reproduction and raising of fingerlings with
live plankton takes place at the nursery farm on lake
"Wallersee". Stocking of fingerlings with 3-4 cm is most economic and is more as
anought in most waters.
Sturgeons (Acipenseridae):
After years of studies and experiments among most known sturgeon species and hybrids, now
from our own broodstock (with CITES) are available -
Siberian Sturgeon (Acipenser baerii): An easy to keep
sturgeon which is used mainly for meat and caviar aquaculture production (available from
fertilized eggs to pregraded females).
Russian Sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii): A beautifull sturgeon (light scutes
on dark ground) which is well accepted as ornamental fish for garden ponds.
Sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus): A slow growing sturgeon which is
mainly used for restocking (in the Danube River) but also for the aquarium trade
(available also as albino).
Beluga (Huso huso): The "Caviar fish" with the best growth rate, within
2 years a weight of up to 10 kg can be obtained with a water temperature of 20° C.
Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula): For the pond-culture, similar to the Bighead-Carp
it is a plankton feeder and can be kept in polyculture with other sturgeons or e.g. with
carps. The Paddlefish also delivers caviar.
We produce over 20 fish species during the year like: Aspius aspius, Barbus barbus, Chondrostoma nasus, Silurus glanis etc. or ornamental fish like Koi, Shubunkin and Sarasa and we can also produce your required species.
