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.
