I saw that video and felt really bad for the guy. i used to vsist a fish hatchery or farm , whatever they call it (hatchery I think ) in southern RI. It was the coolest thing but you could tell by some of the stories the guy told us about legal battles he had to fight to prevent water polution that even the slightest thing could just wipe out handreds of thousands of dollars worth of fish. Once wiped out , it takes several years to restore the stock and unless you have deep pockets , you won't make it financially. The banks are unlikely to give you a loan to repopulate your ponds because there could easily be another cold snap or polution event in the next year or two so its too risky.
I hope somehow he can get back into operation of the fish farm he had. Just shows though that all farmers , whether growing grain or corn or berries or fish are at the mercy of the weather.
