I cant understand why there isn't more info around on this... surely its a cheap/ethical way of rearing protein

There is information out there but it doesn't seem to be that popular in the UK. I wonder if looking at European sites or even Far Eastern sites might provide more info.

yeah- theres plenty of information for tropical climates and catfish/tilapia etc but not much for the UK climate.... hopefully someone might pop along with some info or the articles/books may be useful. fingers crossed, Truffle

Truffle. Do you want a book on fish farming for free ? It seemed like a good idea at the time when I bought it.

First dibs to Truffle but if he doesn't want it I'm sure plenty of others would like it.

Treacodactyl: cheers, I've had a good play on the forums.
Pricey: Pool sounds fab, how large is it? we can only see the corner from the photo.

Think I can now extend the pool to around 10' x 10' and my parents are also getting into this and have just cleared the pool on their farm.... I'll post updates here and let you all know how we get on....

fingers crossed for a fishy new year
