Recently purchased a freeze dryer for the family. Currently freeze drying veggies, fruit, scrambled eggs, diced ham, mushrooms etc. For those of you who are not familiar, freeze drying differs from dehydrating in that freeze dried food is essentially unchanged from the process; rehydrate 20 years later and you have a nearly identical piece of food - not shriveled and changed like dehydrated food. Here is a vis of someone freeze drying fish:
I have a 2 year old one acre pond in Ohio that is stocked with BG, RES, 70 LMB, 30 HSB and 70 CC. We routinely eat all of the fish types in the pond and plan to replace HSB and CC as they are consumed.
With the freeze dryer we have the ability to harvest, store and consume a larger numbers of fish. Essentially move th pond to more of a aquaculture state.
Here’s the question, how would you change stocking to keep a good fishery (good sizes LMB etc.) and increase the production of table fish?
