Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) have been around for millions of years and are now available on a retail basis. Paddlefish are filter feeders, straining zooplankton from the water column as they swim. They have a skeleton comprised primarily of cartilage, no scales, a very large mouth and a long paddle shaped snout, or rostrum. They average 5' in length and 60 lbs. when mature, making them very noticeable in your pond. Paddlefish become sexually mature at eight years of age when they can be harvested for their caviar; they are also harvested for thir delectable flesh. We will stock fish ranging in size from 8" to 15" during September and October only.
