MrSandman,I,ve stocked triploid GC since they were first made legal in KY. Ponds had to be viewed by a state biologist or a conservationist officer to determine the surface area before a permit for a set no of GC were issued. Since the 80,s the restrictions have been greatly loosened,and you can buy them from fish haulers in any amount. I agree with Greg Grimes,I think the triploid will live in my area for only 15 to 18 yrs. Each year,I,ll lose 3-4 dead usually in the early spring or late fall. To maintain weed control, I have to restock every few years ten more GC.While thirty per acre sounds excessive to me,I have to believe most of your original stock are dead,IF they were truly triploids.
