Do Fishing Ponds Overfeed Fish? Belarusian Farmer Explains Why

Fish Farming Practices in Belarus: Overfeeding for Better Catches? In Belarus, the practice of overfeeding fish in paid fishing ponds before weekends has sparked debate. A local fish farmer, featured in a recent video, sheds light on the reasons behind this common practice. He explains that the overfeeding is not a deceptive tactic but a crucial step in fish health management, particularly after the winter months. The farmer states, "After winter, the fish are usually very weak, and for preventative measures, we need to feed them with special food." The video showcases the specific feed used, a Belarusian-made product called "KombiKorm." This practice is not unique to this particular pond; it is a common practice in many paid fishing locations. The farmer emphasizes that the goal is to provide a positive fishing experience for customers, resulting in plentiful catches. The video promotes the idea that the practice is beneficial for the fish's health.
