Artificial Fish Habitat
David Ewald is the inventor of Fishiding. Fishiding is artificial fish habitat made from unwanted vinyl material destined for landfills. Fishiding manufactures a variety of structures of different sizes and for different purposes, from large fish-crib like structures for game fish to small "cradles" for fry and juvenile fish.
David sent me a sampling of his products to test out and photograph. The structures were placed in a nearby lake in early May, and one in shallow water was immediately appropriated by a largemouth bass who has since built a nest next to it, successfully spawned and is now guarding fry adjacent to the protection the structure provides.
As summer progresses I'll try to document the different fish that use Fishiding and observe how they relate to it. To view more of my underwater images of Fishiding structures underwater, click here.
