Geocache Description:


EST: NB! Ettevaatust aarde otsimisel!  Eriti , kui kaasas on lapsed, hoidke neil seal eriti silma peal. Vanal lüüsil ei ole piirdeid ja mitte ei taha, et keegi sinna kukub!

 Kalakasvanduse rajas siia Kalurikolhoos Pärnu Kalur 1968 ja projekteeris ning ehitas Pärnu KEK. 1970 kalakasvandus avati ja kasvatati vikerforelli ning forelli. Kasvatustiike oli esialgu viis, kolm väiksemat ja kaks suurt, mida toitis veega mageveepumpla. Põhjavesi saadi puurkaevust ja suunati aeraatorisse: pumbati survega puust restidest koosnevasse ehitisse, kus vesi restilt restile voolates õhuga segunes ja edasi kalatiikidesse voolas. Kalu toideti graanuliga, mida hoiti tiikide vahel silotornis ja laiali veeti kahe katamaraanilaadse ujuvalusega, kust siis ka graanul vette puistati.  Ettevõte oli edukas ja 1985 aastal otsustati kasvanduse lõunapoolsesse külge rajada juurde veel tiike. Seda tehtigi, kuid need jäid kasutusse võtmata. Teadaolevalt oli olnud plaanis ehitada ka kalatöötlemistehas, kuid ka see plaan jäi unarusse.  Mingi aeg toodi kasvandusse kuldkarpkala ja peegelkarpkala. Maime osteti sisse, sest endal marja inkubeerimisvõimalused puudusid. Kalakasvanduse  töö lõpetati 1990 alguses, kui enam ei olnud mõttekas põhjavett forellide tarbeks elektri abil pumbata. Ka oli esialgne puurkaev ammendumas, sest vett ei jagunud enam piisavalt ning uue puurkaevu rajamist peeti kulukaks. Kuna punase kala sissevedu Soomest kasvas ja karpkala polnud piisavalt kasumlik, siis otsustati tegevus lõpetada. Kogu see info pärineb töötajalt, kes kunagi selles kasvanduses töötas.

Tänud Aimi Laanelale mälestuste jagamise eest, sest netist kahjuks midagi selle koha kohta ei leia.

 

 

 

ENG: NB! Beware in search of treasure! Especially if you have children with you, keep a special eye on them there. The old gateway has no railings and doesn't want anyone to fall into it. 

The fish farm was established here by The Fisherman's Collective Farm Pärnu Kalur in 1968 and designed and built by Pärnu KEK. In 1970 a fish farm was opened and rainbow trout and trout were bred. There were initially five breeding ponds, three smaller and two large ones, which were fed with water by a freshwater pumping station. Groundwater was obtained from a borehole and directed to an aerator: pumped with pressure into a structure consisting of wooden gratings, where the water was mixed with air as it flowed from the grate to grate and continued to flow into the fish ponds. The fish were fed with pellets, which were stored in a silo tower between ponds and scattered with two catamaran-like floats, from which the pellet was then also sprinkled into the water.  The company was successful and in 1985 it was decided to build more ponds on the south side of the farm. This was done, but they were not used. It is known that there had also been plans to build a fish processing plant, but this plan was also neglected.  For some time, gold carp and mirror carp were brought to the farm. The larvae were bought in because there was no possibility of incubating the berry itself. The work of the fish farm was completed in the early 1990s, when it no longer made sense to pump groundwater for trout using electricity. The original well was also about to be exhausted, as there was no longer enough water and the construction of a new well was considered costly. As imports of red fish from Finland increased and carp were not profitable enough, it was decided to cease operations. All this information comes from an employee who once worked on this farm.

Thanks to Aimi Laanela for sharing her memories, because unfortunately you can't find anything about this place on the net.
