Who has seen (or better can point us to an example on the web) someone getting major caloric production from fish and aquatic plants in a regenerative or at least sustainable system? I'm looking for deep in the ground ponds, not tanks. I want to create this and I need to be able to dive into it or drop in from a zipline. I guess Sepp is going to be the first example thrown at me. But he's doing other stuff. I'm looking for an example of someone making their primary living off of this. My real question is, how many acre-feet of pond might this require (in the U.S.) and what's the most efficient way to harvest the fish?
Hi Jeremy!
I believe we share a similar dream of creating a system of ponds that can provide an income from fish with system of ponds. I haven't found too many examples of this other than Sepp. In fact, Sepp is the only one who I've seen do it. In two weeks I am moving to my 40 acre farm near Athens, GA to attempt a system similar to Sepp's. I'll be posting my progress after I get started. Wish me luck!
I'd be glad to share all my success and failures with everyone online.
