EM use in fish breeding
Family Arnhof’s carp pond
Lower Austria
Results of EM use:
Using EM meant that there were no failures, whereas other ponds nearby suffered total loss as a result of the high temperatures.
Fishing was able to establish the second positive effect: no more carp were affected by the carp louse, nor did the fish have any illnesses. All fish were in very good condition, which lasted for the entire cultivation time.
Another positive effect of the Effective Microorganisms was on the quality of the fish meat. Everyone who consumed these EM carp observed an improvement in the fish’s taste, quality and shelf life.
