Freshwater fishing

Eel fishing on the Weser near Petershagen

The inland fishing is the fishing in inland waters (usually in freshwater). It includes river and lake fishing, pond farming and aquaculture systems .

In Germany, aquaculture, including pond farming, has the greatest economic importance. In 2007 more than 80% of the total catch of almost 56,000 t of fish was achieved in carp ponds, continuous and recirculation systems and in net cages. The most economically important edible fish species were rainbow trout (24,000 t) and carp (15,000 t).
