Aquatic Vegetation Control
Here in Melbourne, Viera, Vero Beach & Palm Bay (Brevard and Indian River Counties) - Florida (FL) area, with a long growing season, aquatic vegetation can grow out of control. Not only can this be aesthetically unpleasing but can interfere with being able to enjoy recreational activities in your pond such as fishing, swimming, and boating. We use biological, mechanical, and EPA approved chemical treatments to manage the vegetation in a pond. Each scenario is different and we will examine your water body and determine the best approach using one or a combination of these methods. |
Pond and Sportfish Management / Stocking For those of you with larger ponds, fishing is a favorite pastime of the crew at Florida Custom Aquatic Services, and a great way to spend time with the family. We possess the knowledge and management tools to create incredible fishing, tailored to your desires. Whether you want a lake managed for trophy bass, or just a healthy population of bluegills and bass to take the kids fishing, we can provide that for you. We will evaluate your pond and come up with a detailed written management plan. Fish stocking is also available and a great way to kick start your fish population. |
Water Quality Analysis Water quality is an extremely important component of your pond or water garden. It serves as an indicator of the overall health of your pond. Problems that can arise, such as low DO (Dissolved Oxygen), high Nitrogen and Phosphorous inputs, can greatly effect your system. We will take water quality measurements and move forward with any preventative or corrective measures needed to keep your pond healthy. Luckily, with an Aquascape inc. pond system in your yard, this will rarely be needed because the ponds act as self-sustaining ecosystems. Each organism in the pond, from the bacteria to the plants to the fish, serve a purpose to help keep your pond balanced. |
Electrofishing
To properly assess your pond and take inventory on what species you have in the lake, we use an electrofishing boat to take samples of fish. An electrofishing boat is state-of-the-art equipment which puts a controlled amount of electricity through the water, temporarily stunning the fish. While stunned, we are able to collect them, and record important population and condition metrics. Once we have the data we need, we release them back into the lake unharmed. This service we offer is a GREAT way to determine what is in your pond, and therefore create a more precise management plan. Please note that this is a seasonal service, contact us for more details. |
Permitting with FWC and SJRWMD
Government agencies such as the Fish and Wildlife Commission, and the St. Johns River Water Management District may require permits for certain activities that are regulated. We are here to make it easy on you and handle paperwork associated with these activities. This will primarily be for owners of lakefront or riverfront property on public resources that wish to clear vegetation from a portion of your shoreline. |
