Duncton Mill Trout Farm (Fintech)
Duncton Mill Trout Farm is a large and well established trout farm operating in the fish restocking market. We currently supply many different clients both in the public and private sectors. These range from large reservoirs to small syndicate waters. We pride ourselves on the quality and hard fighting characteristic of our trout, with particular emphasis on good fins and minimal scale loss.
The Hatchery - we operate a large indoor hatchery, which receives oxygenated water directly from the spring. We obtain eggs all year round and therefore have fry available all year. We source most of our eggs from the Isle of Man and the USA. We only purchase triploid eggs, unless all female are especially ordered. Once fry reach 800 lb, they are moved outside to our fry rearing facility. At all times, fry are given low stocking rates to ensure maximum quality. All feeding is by hand to ensure a very tight, even growth across a batch. Prior to pickup or delivery, fry can be vaccinated according to your requirements. All fry are sold certified disease free and are available for sale between 100 lb and 32 lb.
Species available
Farm Specifications - 7 acres, spring fed from the South Downs. Between 3-5 million gallons of water per day. Water temperature - a constant 10 degrees

The
farm comprises a series of gravity fed ponds of various sizes for
on growing. Ponds are stocked at a low stocking density, to promote
strong growth and minimise fin wear. We operate a policy of lighter
weekend feeding to induce fat burn up. This results in fitter and
thus stronger fighting fish.
