Hi guys,
The news so far. We have lost 3 large barbel. One of which has been sent to University for tests. So far we have had the parasite identified as argulus foliaceus. We are still waiting for results on the type of fungus. I will keep you posted.

Hi guys,
The UK environment agency say that a good way to sterilize gear and nets is with sunlight. Luckily there is no lack of that here. Until this is over, the cafeteria and tackle shop will be open from Tuesday til Saturday, from 11:00am until 4:00pm
We'll keep you informed on the situation. We have no fish deaths so far.
Cheers,
Mike

Any professional advice will be greatly appreciated.
Nitrate, nitrite, amonia levels of the water are 0.
PH is slightly alkaline at 8, but I am adjusting that to 7,6 (the ideal) as the water that flows into the lake has a PH of 7,4 and I can adjust the flow.
Water temperature is currently 6C, the coldest it has been for 3 years. The temperature of the water entering the lake is 15C.
Surface of the lake is approximately 3.600m2, average depth 4m. Estimate approximately 15.000.000 litres.
Please forward any suggestions.
Cheers,
Mike
