These ponds are part of the fish farm of Lozerheide. The ponds are filled with canal water via a supply ditch. Native fish are bred here. In the spring, fish spawn of burbot, chub and serpel is released and can continue to grow until October. The fish are then fished for release. During their stay at the farm, the fish are not supplemented, they have to feed on plant and animal plankton that develop in the water. Serpeling is released into the streams of the Meuse basin. Chub and burbot throughout Flanders. Burbot has been extinct in Flanders since the 1970s. At the end of the 1990s, ANB started a restoration programme in collaboration with the scientists of the Research Institute for Nature and Forest. Burbot is very difficult to grow. In 2005, the first lobe bales were reintroduced in the valley of the Bosbeek. This reintroduction appears to have been successful, because the species has reproduced there.
