Reasons:

The conditions for the production of carp have deteriorated steadily since the PGI ‘Holsteiner Karpfen’ was awarded. In particular, strong protection for predators such as cormorants, eagles and, most recently, otters have increased financial losses, making commercial carp production no longer viable. When the name was registered in 2007, table carp yield was still 250 tonnes, but by 2018 it had fallen to 65 tonnes. This year, some companies no longer expect to be able to cover their own requirements for table carp for direct sale. Following over two years of consultation and deliberation, the association’s carp farmers have agreed to request the cancellation of the PGI ‘Holsteiner Karpfen’.
