    The reasons for avoiding farmed fish from many regions aside. I don't see using an excavator as one of them.
    I helped engineer a small-scale commercial fish farm experiment on the Danube in Romania, by creating an artificial isolated wetland along the delta. to filter the pollutants out of the incoming water to the ponds for raising sturgeon. the idea was to produce not only caviar, and to grow hatchlings into fingerlings for restocking and fully matured fish for marketing. 2 by-products were to be fertilizer and nutrient rich water for large scale greenhouse irrigation. I had even helped my retiring QAQC inspector secure startup funding from a couple of Kuwaiti sheiks. But I don't know hao he made out since I Retired and left Kuwait shortly after, before ever being able to go to Romania again.

    Odd one; you get to wear a lot of different hats in 58 years of working mostly for yourself or as a contractor working in nearly 60 different countries one time or another especially when many of them are barely considered developing

    It is very possible they are not trying to catch the fish, but rather cleaning the bottom. Sludge build-up is a big problem in small ponds.

    Agreed. Back in the late 1950's the Lenard Brothers of Forth Worth submitted a proposal to the City of Ft, Worth to dredge as much as 10 feet of the silt out of the bottom of Lak Worth to increase the city's water supply. Even though the dredging operation was to be done at no cost to the city, bureaucrats being what they are rejected their proposal. Number one because the Lenard Brothers stood to make a huge profit out of reclaiming the silt to sell as fertile topsoil and for use make baren land adjoining their Pecan plantation fertile. They also touted the dredging operation would put a huge strain on the city's water treatment facility. But it was suspected a hidden reason was because the city was still mad at them for building a small free subway system providing free parking for patrons of their farm and ranch store downtown, which in later years became the Tandy center. The subway parking area was huge meaning people who had business downtown would park there, ride the free subway and not use the parking meters located in the immediate downtown area.
    Many decades later The Tandy center is no more, the subway has been closed downtown parking is horribly congested, the city has spent hundreds of millions trying to combat the ever-increasing silt problem.
