Abstract
A plurality of reservoir tanks, which receive water from a deep water well, in order to provide a water habitat for the fish contained therein. The water received from the deep water well is injected with pressurized oxygen at a deep sufficient to cause the oxygen to be dissolved in the water, so that when the water is injected into the tank, the water is highly saturated with oxygen, and therefore, provides an oxygen rich environment which enhances the growth of the fish in the tank. The system may be utilized in conjunction with a vaster type of fish pond, wherein a plurality of tanks would provide a quantity of water into the pond, so that in addition to the fish being raised in the tanks, the fish may be raised in the pond adjacent the tanks and therefore achieve the same type of high oxygen rich environment.
