As a distributor of live fish, J.M. Malone and Son, Inc. is aware of the need to monitor and prevent the spread of fish diseases such as Largemouth Bass Virus and VHS. In that regard the farm is sampled bi-annually under the supervision of an APHIS approved veterinarian and fish are tested for LMBV, VHS, IPN, SVCV, IHN and Carp Erythrodermatitis using APHIS approved protocols. Since testing began the farm has tested negative for LMBV for four consecutive years and negative for VHS, IPN, SVCV, IHN and Carp Erythrodermatitis for 2 consecutive years. To further protect ourselves and our customers the farm also operates under a biosecurity plan to prevent the introduction and potential spread of such fish diseases. Our priority is customer satisfaction and we strive to offer the largest volume, highest quality and widest selection of fish species and sizes for the warmwater pond and lake stocking industry. In recent years we have undergone extensive construction projects to expand and upgrade our live fish holding facilities and production ponds allowing us to provide large volumes of high quality fish on a daily basis. With these new facilities our trained staff has loaded as many as 65 live haul trucks per week. We hope you find this website informative and look forward to supplying your fish stocking needs.
