Our aims and achievements

Millions of ornamental fish are imported to the UK each year from around the world along with their associated disease risks. Our aim is to produce and sell healthy English-bred fish to reduce the carbon footprint and ensure that strong, healthy fish reach customers quickly and in perfect condition. Species include a range of Koi varieties, Goldfish, Shubunkins and Ghost Carp.

We can send our fish out at any temperature, any time of the year, and still maintain their health and quality. The results speak for themselves and the ‘Green Line’ brand name which stems from our breeding programme, is now well established within the ornamental trade nationwide.

  • We have supplied over 6 million Common Carp, Mirror Carp, F1 Carp, Green Tench and Barbel to fisheries and fish farms for restocking and/or growing on.
  • We have produced over 4 million cold-water ornamental fish which are sold on into the aquatics trade.
  • Our state of the art CEFAS registered fish farm consists of fry rearing mud ponds and several recirculation systems include broodstock conditioning, egg incubating, early-rearing, growing and holding.

Biosecurity is paramount on our fish farm. We operate a totally enclosed bio-secure site and have regular fish health inspections from CEFAS.
