Platichthys flesus
Venø Fish Farm A/S raises flounder from the Limfjord for
stock-enhancement projects. In the future we could start raising
flounder from other waters.
The general veterinary regulations do not hinder flounder for release
in, for example Ringkjøbing Fjord, be raised on Venø. However, such
fish would be grown exclusively from broodstock from Ringkjøbing
Fjord, and not mixed with fish from other places.
All stock-enhancement programs in Denmark are managed by the Danish
Fisheries Research Institute, DIFRes. It is researchers from DIFRes
who decide where and when the flounder are released as well as in what
quantities and which sizes.
Some flounder are released when only a centimeter long while others
are overwintered and are tagged before being released at 15-20 cm.
