Dunn's Fish Farm's Seine Crews The stocking rates apply only if your pond or lake does not have an existing fish population. After a decision is made on your stocking rates, we go to work getting your fish to you. All of our fish are held in ponds according to size and species. As orders are placed, our seine crews begin the process of gathering and treating your fish. The seining process will begin a minimum three days prior to your delivery.
The fingerling fish are seined out of the ponds and put into harvest trucks then moved into vats inside of our holding facilities. Once the fish are inside the vats, the vat water is slowly adjusted to the ideal holding temperature for the current season. At this time the fish receive their first treatment of salt. The salt serves a dual purpose. First it will help purge the fish of any food or waste inside their bodies which is a must prior to hauling. This is necessary because the water inside the transport tanks must be kept clean and free of any chemical buildup. The second purpose of the salt is to help keep the electrolytes built up on the fish. This is very important because it will enable the fish to keep their slick protective coat throughout the delivery process.
During their short stay in our holding facilities, the fish will receive various other treatments to insure they are free of any possible disease or parasite before they are shipped to you.
Our first priority is to make sure your pond is stocked right the first time.
