So, why have my fish breeder has stopped breeding fish. They say they're out of resources. They were working before.

I think the bottom line is that they need a field with at least some fish to breed new fish. So once all nearby fields are out of fish - no breeding can take place...

I am not expert on this, but 1:1 should be enough I believe...

1:1 has the risk of depleting. It will often deplete over time. I prefer to put 1 more breeder on any large group (say, i build along the coast a succession of breeder-fisher-breeder-fisher-breeder-fisher-breeder). 1:1 with the breeder closer to the coast so that it has less travel time and works faster should also be good enough. But with just 1:1, depleting fish is a real problem.

I had one to one with them being equal distance to water.

Another problem is you do not know how many fish were in the area before your started fishing/breeding. If the map maker placed fish in low numbers and spread unevenly then luck could work against you with 1:1 where 3:2 would work OK. Perhaps we should give the geologist another task, count the fish near the coast.

I have been toying with the idea that a fish-breeder would have a small (empty mine -grade) probability of succeeding in case of depleted water.

What I don't understand is that the fish-breeder cannot work on an empty field even if there is a non-empty field next to it.

And I'm surprised that there is no fish-migration at all...

I like the idea. Maybe also fishers should have that?

Technically it would probably need two distinct production programs, one as it is now, and second one looking for any water field.... with some proportion like 9:1 or so...
