Habitat & Water Conditions
‍

• Tench cope with all the seasonal water temperatures but are most active in the summer months.
• They are fairly resistant to low oxygen.
• They suit all water conditions but are not suited to fast flowing rivers.

Stocking Recommendations
‍

• Tench do not cope as well as some fish with highly stocked match fisheries
• They are best suited where competition is more relaxed

Diet & Feeding
‍

• Natural diet (insects, algae, pellets, etc.)

Care & Health Tips


• Tench are generally resistant to disease and are regarded as hardy
  Tench can live over 50 years in certain conditions

Environmental Impact


• Tench are native to the UK and can be stocked into all waters with the necessary EA
  permits.

Habitat & Water Conditions
‍

• Thrive in all UK temperature variations.
• Best suited to ponds or lakes.
• 1-3 meters of depth is perfect for Ide.

Stocking Recommendations
‍

• A biomass of 2 tons is common in fisheries in an acre of water, anything less is better.

Diet & Feeding
‍

• Ide eat all aquatic invertebrates and some plants but grow faster with supplementary food.

Behaviour & Compatibility


• Ide are a shoaling fish and integrate with other species very well.
• They reproduce in most conditions.
• Ide seem resistant to diseases but are not as tolerant to low oxygen as some species.
• Life span about 20 years.

Environmental Impact


• Ide are non-native originating from Europe.
• They are now widespread in the UK and are very popular.
• Stocking of these fish is only permitted in enclosed waters and is subject to EA permitting as all fish are.

Habitat & Water Conditions
‍

• Carp are the land rover of coarse fish and fit into most conditions, they like warm water and lots of food.
• They are fast growing 1-3 m of depth and the bigger the lake the more they like it.

Stocking Recommendations
‍

• Carp can be stocked heavily and some fisheries have more than 5 tons to the acre with aerators.
• 2 tons to the acre is considered to be about right and anything less is better.

Diet & Feeding
‍

• Carp eat most things found in their environment and love pelleted food which make them grow rapidly.
• They are quite happy to fend for themselves.

Behaviour & Compatibility


• Carp soon become the dominant species as they are strong and grow fast
• They are the principal target species for anglers

Care & Health Tips


• Carp are susceptible to several diseases but generally are happy and healthy.

Environmental Impact


• Carp are non-native but introduced so long ago that they are effectively native to all of the UK.
• Carp do not suit fast flowing rivers, and the EA restrict their stocking into rivers, but allow them to be stocked in most other waters subject to permits.

• They are the principal target species for anglers

Care & Health Tips


• Carp are susceptible to several diseases but generally are happy and healthy.

Environmental Impact


• Carp are non-native but introduced so long ago that they are effectively native to all of the UK.
• Carp do not suit fast flowing rivers, and the EA restrict their stocking into rivers, but allow them to be stocked in most other waters subject to permits.

Habitat & Water Conditions
‍

• Tench cope with all the seasonal water temperatures but are most active in the summer months.
• They are fairly resistant to low oxygen.
• They suit all water conditions but are not suited to fast flowing rivers.

Stocking Recommendations
‍

• Tench do not cope as well as some fish with highly stocked match fisheries
• They are best suited where competition is more relaxed

Diet & Feeding
‍

• Natural diet (insects, algae, pellets, etc.)

Care & Health Tips


• Tench are generally resistant to disease and are regarded as hardy
  Tench can live over 50 years in certain conditions

Environmental Impact


• Tench are native to the UK and can be stocked into all waters with the necessary EA
  permits.

Habitat & Water Conditions
‍

• Thrive in all UK temperature variations.
• Best suited to ponds or lakes.
• 1-3 meters of depth is perfect for Ide.

Stocking Recommendations
‍

• A biomass of 2 tons is common in fisheries in an acre of water, anything less is better.

• Ide are non-native originating from Europe.
• They are now widespread in the UK and are very popular.
• Stocking of these fish is only permitted in enclosed waters and is subject to EA permitting as all fish are.

Habitat & Water Conditions
‍

• Carp are the land rover of coarse fish and fit into most conditions, they like warm water and lots of food.
• They are fast growing 1-3 m of depth and the bigger the lake the more they like it.

Stocking Recommendations
‍

• Carp can be stocked heavily and some fisheries have more than 5 tons to the acre with aerators.
• 2 tons to the acre is considered to be about right and anything less is better.
