With growth then:

55 HSB X 3lbs = 165 lbs
40 SMB X 1lb = 40 lbs
20 Eyes X 2lbs = 40lbs
10 CC X 3lbs = 30lbs
________
Total 275lbs

That is a conservative estimate of those fish as adults ( and assumes no offspring which may happen with SMB , HSB , CC and WE) and is a lot for a one acre. A general rule is 100 lbs of predators per acre. Will you be feeding pellets? The SMB will not easily control the YP #s or the GSF #s so you will be counting on the WE and HSB to do so. If the 3 can't crop the YP #s a lot they may well stunt. Same for the GSF.

If you will be feeding (pellets and FH) and removing fish so as to keep a balance below carrying capacity with good water quality it should work. It will take substantial mgt. efforts. Very interesting project.

If Rob Jones brings the fish tell him the PB Canada trip group says hello. Be sure you tell him or have the driver tell him hello from PB.
