Our Stock...
Every year we produce c.15,000 premium quality King Carp for sale, ranging in age and size from 6 oz to 20+ lbs. Our fish are stocked in stillwaters and canals throughout the UK including many private and public waterways and a large number of top commercial fisheries. Our Carp are vibrant, long, high-shouldered British fish bred to a unique mix of commons, leathers and our renowned fully-scaled, linear, zip-linear and large-plated mirrors. We chose the farms original stock from the hatcheries of Frontfish and Priory, produced by crossing the established strains of Leneys and Dinkensbhuls. The Leney strain has a strong heritage as the orginal recreation English Carp, it is known for it's stunning scaling, beautiful deep colouring and elegant long line - think Redmire Pool & London Zoo's famous carp Clarissa. The original Continental European Dinks are generally shorter, broad and deep with few scales and a very impressive growth rate. The combination of these two strains creates the ideal fishery stock; hardy and domesticated with an attractive and diverse appearance. In the right environment with good water quality and the appropriate stocking density they have the potential for fast growth, with the possibility of year on year weights doubling in younger carp and significant weight gain in larger fish. Whether you are stocking a pleasure, match, specimen or ornamental water our mixed strain is the ideal choice. The farm's natural environment and scientific feed programme ensures that our carp grow strong and healthy. The stock are hand fed twice daily throughout the year using a unique specialist high-grade feed. The diet includes very little fishmeal (as we do not believe in using ground up wild fish stocks to feed our carp!) but does contain a high volume of non GM wheat, barley, vegetable oils, vitamins and minerals, and further supplements of essential amino acids utilised by our fish for healthy development. This balanced combination works specifically to promote tissue, scale and muscle growth rather than pure fat weight gain which is unsustainable and unhealthy. We are a KHV, SVC and other terminal disease free Fish Farm. As part of their remit Cefas carry out regular site inspections and stock tests. We also take further fish samples to the Fish Health Inspectorate's national laboratory for other viral disease tests that are not required by law. Additionally our stock is independantly health checked every six months for bacteria and parasite loading to comply with Section 30 Consent from the EA. These tests and checks combined with our biosecurity measures are just some of the precautions we take to ensure that Polgreen Lakes remains a trusted producer and supplier of premium coarse fish. We are Carp specialists but are expanding our stock range to include F1 Hybrids and Tench for 2010/11 so we can offer more choice to our customers and fulfill the changing requirements of modern fisheries.
