Re: Fish

You're absolutely right, it's not necessarily a separate business. Here, the farmers and the breeders are separate most of the time, because the farmers aren't usually big enough to breed their own fish. So they buy their fish from breeders and just raise them from about 12-24 month old fish to adults.

Some of the fish are bought by organizations that want to improve the population in a lake or a river, but they usually buy eggs, newly hatched or fish that are 1-2 years old. Garter-sized fry would be less than a year old.
