Is it possible to get undesirable plants/animals from a fish farm or fish delivery truck?

I'm sure they take precautions. Just curious what precautions are somewhat standard for the industry?


Snrub, as far as I know, there are no standardized precautions.

What I did was use one bucket to take water out of the hauling tank, pour it into other buckets and use those other buckets to put fish into the ponds. I leave the buckets apart and they dry out on the way to the next stop. I am looking into a different method starting this year after the conference.

None of the "pond" buckets are used to dip water out of the tanks.
