George, I suspect our definitions of "heavy" FA may differ. Some pond managment companies suggest up to 100 pounds per acre (not me!). Annual stocking of tilapia SHOULD gradually require fewer stocking numbers once control is gained over the plant life and a good balance is found.
Northern ponds do have a shorter season for tilapia recruitment by 2-3 months from roughly the Arkansas/Mississippi border on north. Always some exceptions though.
