Throughout the farm we have a team of individuals trained to grade and count tropical fish.
During the winter months, 95 percent of the ponds located in Plant City, Florida are covered with high-grade plastic sheeting, like a greenhouse, thus using solar energy to maintain the water temperature. Bird netting and/or shade cloth is used to cover the ponds during the warmer months. Approximately 500 ponds are located below the freeze belt in Arcadia, Florida. During cold winter nights, we pump 80° F well water into these ponds to maintain the water temperature.
