Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Can salmon fingerlings be raised in a pond?

Of course you still need a coldwater habitat in a pond for any of the salmonids. Warmer water is a relative term.

South Dakota better be careful getting eggs from Chile. Chile has had serious disease issues with their pen raised salmon and continues to have issues.

I could raise landlocked salmon in my trout pond, but my DNR won't allow it as they fear disease issues even if the eggs or fish are tested negative for any pathogens. My pond water that overflows ends up in Lake Michigan. I was offered some from a closed system at Purdue and my IDNR contact said no.

The virus they fear is ISA (infectious salmon anemia).
