Rainbow trout are bred and reared at the farm for the purpose of stocking the Island's recreational reservoir fishery, which has an excellent reputation among resident and visiting anglers for quality fishing in picturesque surroundings. The farm has in the recent past been leased to a company specialising in the production of rainbow trout eggs for the global market, with site rental offset by the tenant producing and delivering stockfish to the six reservoirs in accordance with a schedule and condition index provided by the Fisheries Division of the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture (DEFA). Due to the tenant's recent departure, the DEFA wishes to explore the market, to identify interest from an experienced commercial enterprise with appropriate expertise and experience to lease the farm, potentially under a similar arrangement. The farm and reservoir stocking operations are currently run by three experienced members of staff, who are presently employed by DEFA. The following summarises DEFA's requirements of a new tenant for Cornaa fish farm: - Produce the following numbers of rainbow trout per year for the purpose of restocking for recreational angling: - 17,500 minimum size 2lb - 2,000 fish minimum size 4lb - 400 fish minimum size 7lb - Deliver fi...ns to responders to the Notice.
