Saxony’s Autumn Carp Harvest Kicks Off With Solid Catches at Moritzburg and Dresden

Managers forecast about ten tonnes at Frauenteich, with Zwingerteich fish destined for angling waters.

Overview

  • Teichwirtschaft Moritzburg began abfischen at the 56-hectare Frauenteich and expects an average-good yield of roughly ten tonnes after the first day.
  • Management reports well-grown carp at Moritzburg but fewer edible pike than desired.
  • At Dresden’s Zwingerteich, crews removed nearly 500 kilograms of fish during a stock check and thinning operation.
  • About 250 carp, estimated at 500 kilograms, were left in the Zwingerteich, with smaller fish planned for restocking in spring.
  • Captured fish are rinsed to protect gills and are being moved to angling waters rather than processed, while local reporting cites around €10 per kilogram for New Year’s carp.
