Big fish kill on his major stock lake, reckons it will bankrupt him?
Whilst i feel sorry for the guy ,with all his experience , should he now have had measures in place to jump into action on any likely hood of an oxygen crash.

He did, but unfortunately was not enough. Terrible news for fishing, his new super scaleys are something else. If you've not seen them take a look...hopefully he recovers, I'm sure he has more stock elsewhere but it is s.*** no getting around it.

I'm in a fishery management group with Mark and several times he's mentioned having really really high d.o. levels. These will only be caused by algae blooms, which means you're living (well your fish are) on a knife edge.
With such an operation I'm gobsmacked that he didn't have an 'over the top' number of aerators ready to go when such a situation arose.

Those high d.o. levels are due to the algae, and will also indicate the reverse is also happening at dawn.
It's a big shame but...

As terrible as it is, it does sound like a case of not having the correct preventative measures in place. I'll be alright, it wont happen to me kind of thing.

When you lease waters here there and everywhere hours from home then you'll never be in the right place at the right time. The bloke comes across as a bit of a chancer in the Korda podcasts. Nothing ever went to plan when I dealt with him.

Shocking. You would think a man would learn from his mistakes, although i never do but its not on such a scale lol.

Imagine this happening to any other livestock farmer on such a large scale ,even if the animals are to be killed the welfare still has to be thought about .Sounds almost negligence ,I don't think he's doing himself any favours shouting it from the rooftops via social media .
Failure to prepare, prepare to fail... Its survival of the smartest I'm afraid.
