prohibited catch pike on Lake Balaton from today until the end of March
begins Monday and runs until the end of March the specific prohibition catch pike on Lake Balaton, where due to the stringent regulations of the targeted angling is prohibited for the fish - said the Lake Fishery Management Nonprofit Ltd. angling industry leader MTI on Sunday..
Gábor Nagy explained that from Monday it is not only forbidden to keep the pike, but also not to fish for it in the spawning grounds.
On its website, the Balaton Fish Farming Nonprofit Zrt. also draws the attention of those who go fishing for predatory fish in February that, according to the Balaton fishing regulations, it is forbidden to fish specifically for fish that are undersized, that is, under the size limit.
The fish management company summarized the fish stocking that took place in 47 locations from March to mid-December of last year. According to the report, about 57,000 kilograms more than the mandatory 300,000 kilograms of 2-3 summer carp were released into the lake.
From 2018, the company's fish management plan requires the planting of 250,000 adult carp, which it significantly exceeded, placing 775,000 of them in the western basin of the lake.
In 2019, the obligation of 6,000 kilograms of yearling perch was not met. A total of 4,757 kilograms of this fish species - from which the company is not yet self-sufficient - were planted in Lake Balaton, as perch was considered a scarce item throughout the country and it was difficult to get it, the website reads.
This problem is expected to be solved from 2021, because from this year the fish ponds returned to the company will start producing - promises the fish management company, which fulfilled its obligation to plant 250 thousand last year with 18,000 pre-raised pike, and managed to further increase the amount produced from baleen, and in addition to the 60,000 pre-raised specimens, he released 30,600 two-year-old fish into Lake Balaton.
Two years ago, the first stone perch in the history of Balaton fish farming took place. Last year, doubling the initial amount, 7,500 one- and two-year-old specimens were released into the lake. The whitefish reintroduction program started in 2015 also continued: at the end of September, a total of 5,000 one-year-old specimens were brought into Lake Balaton at the end of September, while 200 kilograms of two-year-old flounder were planted in accordance with their obligation.
Fish stocking was also organized on Little Balaton. Last year, a total of 250,000 pre-raised carp, 60,000 pre-raised pike and 40,000 pre-raised perch were put out in compliance with the obligation, according to the report of the fish management company.
