For this weekend we will be having a special open viewing of our Bio-secure quarantine area. This is an opportunity to view behind the scenes at Avenue Fisheries and also get a chance to purchase from our high grade stocks imported in November prior to them being on general view in our retail area.
Paula Reynolds Bsc Phd Ba has independently certified our quarantine area comprising of 15 ponds holding in excess of 50,000 gallons housed in 5 separate polytunnels as Bio-secure. All koi imported by us are quarantined for a minimum of 6 weeks in accordance with the protocol of both CEFAS and the Professional Koi Dealers Association.
Our current stocks were all imported at least 3 months ago and have been fully quarantined allowing for this opportunity of unrestricted access to our Bio-secure quarantine area. Fish available at the time of printing include the following:
