A lot of knowledge and experience is behind this science of fish stocking, and that factors into the recommendations for fish stocking ratios. Maintaining the correct predator-to-prey ratio, and stocking with the correct species for a certain geographic region, all goes into the consideration of how to stock a pond or lake. Not only that, but also care must be taken that non-native species, which might become invasive species, are not introduced into the waterways.

If you have a new pond, the fish you purchase are determined by size of the lake and the kinds of fish you want. If you stock an existing lake, an analysis can be performed through electrofishing. The current population of fish species is determined, your goals are considered, maintaining the ecosystem comes into play, and then a recommendation of how to stock your pond or lake is created. If you are looking to create a trophy fishing lake, there is more to be considered than if you are stocking a pond for the grandkids to have some fun fishing when they visit.

Sunfish, catfish, trout, bass and forage fish are all fish that can be stocked in a pond or lake. The percentages are determined by the current fish population, their size, the size of the body of water, and the ecosystem as a whole. Other types of fish can be stocked as well. It is important to not randomly stock non-native species without a professional consultation, as non-native species may become invasive species and overtake the ecosystem. Stocking a fish pond or lake begins with your goals. It is necessary to determine the current fish population through electrofishing or netting. That, along with your goals, is taken into consideration about how to best proceed to create the desired result in your pond or lake. Plus, the end result must also keep the ecosystem in balance.

Stocking is more than simply adding a quantity of fish to a body of water; it involves the larger, long-term picture of the overall health of the pond or lake.
