paulus 26 Posted November 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 A mate netted an area near a power station on the Trent for a company, There were loads of chub and silvers plus one great big Flounder. All were transferred it a freshwater lake. Quote Link to post
philpot 4,970 Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 We have a pond about 20mt in from the sea wall wher over the years kids have chucked flounder into this pure freshwater pond and now there are quite a few which have lost some of their colour and I have heard it said that some are almost white but I cannot confirm that is the case.

I have a pond of Koi ranging from around 7'' to 20'' and of course they live in a filtered freshwater environment however I add salt over winter to the pond which helps the fish stay healthy at a time when they are at their weakest with no ill effect to the fish sooooooo perhaps we under estimate what tolerances fish have with fresh to brackish to salt water. We get mullet passing through lock gates into fresh water and pike going the other way. I am not saying thoses fish stay in the new conditions but it may well be the case that the fish are able to live in brackish conditions with little or no effect to their life. Just a thought.
