We left most of the larger Tilapia (six pairs per Topia) in the Topias so they would make more for my overwinter project. (They come out at the end of OCT).
The Topias are about 1/8th, 1/8th, and 1/11th of an acre.
If I had to say, I would expect we were near 600 lbs of fish in the three Topias and now we have something less than 350 LBS left in the Topias, but that is only my best guess (using feed after the seining). This winter will see a drawdown of the water levels in the topias, so I should be able to get a really good count and weight for each Topia.
I will say I was worried about the carrying capacity of Extratopia so it was seined twice this weekend. I would say we took out around 90 Lbs of fish from it alone. And to think I only put about 6Lbs of Tilapia into it back in April.
I can also report that I found a crap load of spawning beds in all of the Topias mostly around the edges, so this fall's checkup should be very interesting indeed.
