Question : How do I build a sustainable fish pond?
My husband and I are planning to build a house for our family on a few acres, and we’re trying to learn about many different ways of being as self-sustaining as possible. One thing I’m very interested in is a sustainable pond where we can keep fish for food consumption.

How would I learn about this? We’d need to know how big the pond would have to be, how to make one and care for it, how to sustain a large enough fish population, and all of that. Are there any books or websites on the subject? I would prefer books.

Thanks!

I looked into this once, and i found it not to be efficient unless i was providing fish for 100 people or more. I guess if you joined a co-op and had someone else providing other things or helping with the hatchery you could make it work.
