Fish Stocking
We offer wholesale prices on a range of sport and feeder fish for any size water body. Let our lake management experts help you choose the best combination of bass, walleye, bluegill or other species for your property.
Lake Monitoring
Ongoing monitoring of water quality over time can greatly simplify pond and lake management. Knowing baseline values of parameters allows us to track any changes over time that may have a negative impact on water quality.
Bathymetric Mapping
Bathymetric mapping uses GPS and acoustic sounding technology to measure the depths and contours of your lake or pond. This can be useful when combating algae or other nuisance plant growth and for dredging applications.
Diffuser Systems
Diffuser systems will destratify your lake or pond and maintain uniform temperatures and oxygen levels, which is important for managing invasive plant growth and ensuring a healthy fish population. AEC offers several diffuser systems and can match you with the right product.
Fish Management
Even a small lake or pond is a complex ecosystem that requires ongoing management to stay in balance. AEC can assess the balance of your fish population and design a management program to keep them healthy.
