Food Fish for Preppers

[Devonian]

The problem around this part with ponds is the otters!

My parents had their pond virtually cleared of fish by the otters in one night, a couple of weeks later, their neighbours a couple of doors down suffered the same fate. Quite depressing when you the remains of the fish just scattered around the pond.

Neither are anywhere near a river etc, but apparently your average otter will travel up to 14 miles a night between its known lakes, rivers ponds etc. And once it know where there are fish, it will periodically return to each location.

So if you are anywhere near where otters may be present, and if you are planning on using open ponds, then I would suggest protecting "your food source" which would need to be something like rigid weld across the pond.
