For the lake farms, autumn means the beginning of the big harvests, when the fish producers are faced with the results of the invested work. The catch is then transferred from the rearing ponds to winter storage ponds, directly for processing or planting in domestic fish farming waters. In order to make it verifiable, prior notification of installations is required by law. According to this, the person entitled to fish management must notify the fish management authority and the fishing association of all planned fish stocking at least 3 days before the stocking, and must report on the quantities of fish actually stocked in a realization report within 8 days after the day of stocking. Checking the regularity of fish stocks and the traceability of fish is a priority task of the ÁHSZ. In the past two months, the state fish guards have conducted on-site inspections in more than 10 cases, during which proceedings were initiated 3 times, in 2 cases the installation of the fish to be placed was prohibited – due to the intention to install invasive silverfish – and in another 3 cases the specialists are still investigating.
