Since my only use for the blue gill in the pond is food the larger predators I intend on stocking into the pond, I had to go the exsperimental route. The entire stocking plan is exsperimental any way. The pond was stocked and is full of HBG (8-10 years ago). Only other thing in the pond was Gambusia and GC. I am realeasing about 20 female CNBG to breed with the out numbered Mixed BG. I am sure over time the added Blue gill genes will produce fish that pretty much look like blue gill. They will still have the MIxed gene floating around in the DNA some place. I am very curious to see what effect it will have on the blue gill population over time. as long as they are making babies to be eaten is all that really matters.....
But I think it will be interesteing to see what happens to the future generations........
