Cod shortage

Would it be possible to keep and breed cod in your garden pond as a commercial venture?

Not in yer pond. But I'll bet they'll be farmed in due course. Look at Salmon. Used to be expensive - now its cheap fish thanks to intensive farming.

The essence of fish farming is to have running water. This is how it works- fish in the pen, add the food, some of is converted by the fish to increase their weight, the rest is converted to fish poo and pee which you need the running water to get rid of. Hence the salmon farms on the coasts of Scotland.

Seriously, is anyone cod farming in the Uk?
