For those who have not yet visited Corbu Lake in Constanta, we want to make a brief overview of both the farm and the competition facilities that we have developed here, to support fishing.

In particular, we are proud with our success, namely hosting the 2012 Carpfishing World Championship, held for the first time in Romania. Reward was as emotions, the Romanian team succeeding to overcome the great names of world anglers, becoming world champions, both on the nation and in individual (gold and silver).

The recent history of these achievements is quite well known among fans but we don’t want to lose the opportunity to attract new anglers. Corbu Lake is a stone's throw from the beaches, sea, Mamaia Resort, Constanta City ... the whole Black Sea coast. Access is easy, especially since the Sun Highway A2 was completed and from Bucharest to Constanta the trip takes about 2 hrs.

Few words about Corbu Lake Fish Farm

Corbu Lake is part of the lakes located on the Black Sea shoreline, has a length of 4.5 km from S to N, pear-shaped, with the neck on the north. It is located at a distance of approx. 8 km from Mamaia Resort, inside the perimeter of Natura 2000 site "ROSPA0060 Lakes Tasaul - Corbu".

The first arrangement of Corbu Lake in terms of fisheries, was made in the period of 1980 - 1983, when it gained the status of farming. Our company, SC SERVICE RIG S.A. took it over in 2006 and since then, every year we made huge investments to bring it to the level where it is today.

The farm has a total area of ​​450.03 ha and consists of three basins that summarize 448.92 ha of water. The biggest basin, which was arranged as competition venue, is EC2 and has 436.70 ha. The other two basins, EC 3 and EC 4 have 8.27 ha and 3.95 ha. Corbu Lake bottom is natural, mainly sandy, with few gravel and clay.

SC SERVICE RIG S.A. is licensed to product consumption fish: domestic and Asian carp, sturgeon, starry sturgeon, sterlet, poliodon, catfish, pike, pickerel,

The main activities carried out in the farm are:

1.    Aquaculture of fish species according to the licence;

2.    Fish stocking with young fish from our own production and from other specialized fish farms;

3.    Supplementary natural feeding during the growth periods (March-September);

4.    Fishing for commercial purpose.

The fish production is realized applying the polyculture fish farming technology of indigenous cyprinids with species of plankton-eating fish and other harmonizing species. The programmed technological cycle sets a growth period of 3-4 years for the existing species.

The fish stocking is made during spring and/or autumn, with fish produced in our farm and also from other specialized fish farms.

The species have a good quality since the reproductive fish are very healthy and strong. This young fish produced by us is use for stocking the large basin and the healthy environment and the natural feeding guarantee the superior taste of the fish growth in this lake.

Supplementary feeding during the growth periods is based on natural forages and is prepared in our farm station. This supplement consists of grain flour, molasses, premixes, yeast and minerals and can be considered organic as we don’t use growth hormones or other subtle incentive. Therefore, this explain why the taste of fish meat is excellent compared to similar products, increased intensive, mostly from import.

Commercial fish is sell as fresh fish or is processed in the farm fishery, according to the requirements of ISO 22000:2005 (aquaculture and fisheries) issued by Germanischer Lloyd.

For proper growth of Corbu Lake fauna and flora, we continuously check the water parameters with our devices and regularly make analyzes at authorised laboratories aiming to meet the safety limits.
