The above quote was IMO intended or meant for RES in a mixed fish community. Stock RES in a pond by themselves and report the results. As additional information, check with in with fish farms that raise RES. Ask about the growth rates of YOY RES that have different densities in nursery ponds. Growth rates will be widely different among the different population densities. Good or fast growth for low densities and poor growth and even stunting for high densities.
