New fish are also trying to recover from handling stress and bunching up into cage corners makes the stress worse, despite what some may say. Watch frightened fish in a cage. Perception is not reality. Note that CB1 does not use square aquaculture tanks. It is commonly reported that cylindrical cages are much better for pelagic fish or constantly swimming fish such as hybrid striped bass and trout. Name me a fish that swims in square or rectangular patterns.


No Bill I distinctly remember you said a perch producer in Ohio told you square cages were better and gave a reason. Just can't remember what it was. Seems to me the name was Bream or something like that. I remember you were surprised by it.

BTW never had a problem with fish bunching up in corners.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
