In Gisselfeld's lakes and ponds, a carp farm has existed as far back as Peder Oxe's time in the 1500s. However, the fish farm ceased in its traditional sense in the 1960s, but the ponds have since been used for other freshwater fish.
In recent years, carp have regained popularity in Gisselfeld's lakes, as they are an interesting fish for anglers.
With its traditional connection to the place, the entire carp farm has been resumed at a historic level in 2014, aimed at the park's guests. The project is supported by the A.P. Møller and Chastine McKinney Møller Foundation for General Purposes, which has made it possible to renovate the old ”Fish Master House” in the park, which houses a poster exhibition about the carp at Gisselfeld. In addition, one can experience the fish farm up close on a tour of the park and see the many dams and water regulations that have been restored.
In connection with the project, a significant factor has been communicating the carp's movement and circulation in the lakes.
