FISH FAQ:

How are my fish delivered? The hatchery truck delivers the fish to our parking lot at 7413 County House Road, Auburn. Your fish are to be picked up between 11:00 and 11:30 AM. Please be prompt as the hatchery truck will not wait and we have no way to hold your fish.

What containers & water should I use? We recommend a large cooler or clean garbage can with lid filled with at least 15-20 gallons of water from your pond. Do not use chlorinated water to transport your fish. You may want to bring bags of ice to put in the water as well, to keep the water cold during transport.

How do I get triploid grass carp? A DEC permit is required to obtain triploid grass carp. Our office can assist you with your application. The DEC will notify you how many grass carp you are allowed based on the size of your pond and the weed cover. You must present your permit when ordering and picking up your grass carp. NO EXCEPTIONS.

TRIPLOID GRASS CARP

A special permit to stock Triploid Grass Carp in required from NYS DEC – YOU MUST SEND A COPY OF YOUR DEC PERMIT TO STOCK GRASS CARP WITH YOUR ORDER, OR YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ORDER THE GRASS CARP. Application is available at the Cayuga County SWCD office or website. You MUST also bring 3 copies of the permit with you at the time of pick-up, or you will not be allowed to get the Grass Carp.

The grass carp is one of the largest members of the minnow family, commonly reaching weights in excess of 25 pounds. Native to the rivers of eastern China, it has been introduced into over 50 countries due to its uncanny ability to control a wide variety of aquatic plant species. Grass carp feed strictly by grazing on aquatic vegetation and do not share the bottom-feeding habits typical of common carp and goldfish.

Triploid grass carp, which are sterile and incapable of producing viable young, are the only form of grass carp legal in NY due to concerns over the potential impact fertile grass carp could have on sensitive aquatic habitats should uncontrolled reproducing populations of the fish become established.

AQUATIC PLANTS KNOWN TO BE CONTROLLED BY TRIPLOID GRASS CARP: Common elodea, coontail, fanwort, naiad, curly leaf pondweed, leafy pondweed, sago pondweed, floating pondweed, duckweed, muskgrass and submergents, including bladderwort, watermilfoil, water-stargrass and wild celery.

AQUATIC PLANTS NOT CONTROLLED BY TRIPLOID GRASS CARP: Arrowhead, bulrush, burreed, cat tails, watershield, white water-lily and algae.
