HSB effectively control YP in most situations esp if weed beds are minimal. It is easy to add more HSB when more predation is needed or reduce amount of pellet fed to the fish and HSB convert to eating more fish.

Grass shrimp and crayfish are not essential for a good YP population. Getting pellet trained fish is far more important.
