About Us
Parsons Pools Fisheries was established in the early 90’s by partners Will & Rosie Fair. Now under new ownership, to ensure a smooth transition, Chris & Maxine are still currently working closely with Will & Rosie who have now retired from the rearing of fish.
We have 11 rearing pools all of which are fed by underground spring water. The fish farm is based near Market Drayton, Shropshire and supplies fish all over the country restocking fisheries, club and private waters. We have a wide range of coarse fish species, mirror and common carp, green tench, crucian carp, bream, etc.
Biosecurity is of primary concern and there are strict policies and practices in place based on CEFAS (DEFRA) guidelines. Before any fish movement and sale health certificates are obtained as Environment Agency legislation requires. This involves a sample of fish sent to a registered Fish Health Consultant who undertakes a routine health check. In addition to this, we regularly monitor our own fish populations for parasites as good practice. There are also regular visits by CEFAS (at least twice/three times a year) and on occasion we provide a sample for analysis for viral diseases.
We are a family-run business with a small team of dedicated staff for our fish handling and movement of fish.
