We have a variety of hauling trucks to meet
your needs. We can accomodate loads from 600 pounds up to
6000 pound loads and everything in between. Fish hauling is
a delicate balance of science and common sense. The truth
of the matter is, not much has changed since Harry started
this business in the early 1950s.
1)
Temperature—Water temperature is one
of the most important factors in successfully hauling fish.
It is important to haul fish in cool water. Fish handle better
and can be hauled at higher densities in cool water. One point
of concern, resulting from hauling fish in cool water is temperature
shock. A person has to be careful not to change the temperature
of a fish’s environment too far in too short a time.
This is a factor in both the loading and unloading of the
fish. Fish haulers should manage their water temperatures
to match the holding tank temperatures on both the loading
and unloading locations. Ice is available on site for temperature
control.
2)
Good Water– It is imperative to transfer
these fish in water free from iron. We have gone to great
extents to remove iron from our water.
3)
Oxygen- Everyone knows fish need oxygen to survive,
but not everyone knows too much oxygen can be deadly while
hauling fish. It is crucial to have the proper amount of oxygen
provided for the fish. Another critical aspect is clean diffusers.
4)
Good Minnows– In order to successfully haul
minnows you have to start with a good product. The best minnow
hauler in the world can’t successfully haul a poor quality
fish. For a fish to haul successfully it needs to be “swam
out”. In short, the fish has to have been in the vat
long enough for its system to be flushed out. If the fish
wasn’t given enough time ammonia will build up and cause
fish mortality.
5)
Density– There are obviously limits
to how many fish a person can haul successfully. This depends
on a variety of factors including the size of the fish, length
of transport, temperature, and box size.
