Why Predator Prevention Matters
Otters, cormorants, herons, and mink are natural predators that pose a serious threat to fish stocks across the UK. Without effective protection, fisheries can suffer devastating losses overnight.
Our comprehensive predator management services are designed to:
Prevent fish loss due to predation
Protect fish welfare and preserve biodiversity
Ensure compliance with environmental regulations
Support the long-term sustainability of your fishery

Otter Fencing Installation
Otter-proof fencing is one of the most reliable and humane methods for protecting your fishery. Our fences are designed and installed to Natural England and Environment Agency standards.
Our Otter Fencing Service Includes:
Free site survey and risk assessment
Design and planning tailored to your land
Supply of high-quality otter fencing materials
Professional installation with secure gates and access points
Maintenance and repair services
We use durable mesh, robust posts, and dig-proof ground barriers to ensure no entry for even the most determined otter.

Cormorant & Heron Deterrents
Aerial predators like cormorants and herons are also a common issue at UK fisheries. We offer a range of non-lethal deterrent solutions, including:
Overhead line systems
Reflective bird scarers
Netting for stock ponds and rearing areas
Habitat management advice
Each fishery is different, so we tailor our approach based on predator pressure, water layout, and ecological considerations.

Mink and Other Predators

We provide:
Remote wildlife camera surveys

Perimeter security assessments
Ongoing monitoring and support
