Initial stocking results in a new water based on common plans (which you noted) are generally successful with good growth in the first stocked generation.
You are absolutely correct that it is always about how you manage the successive generations. Nice work. Noted as it is for a fixed point in time. After that it is a nightmare to try and measure all the variables in real time. See the upcoming PB article.
