How many pallets would you float for a maximum spawn? I am thinking a lot
If I am looking for Maximum Growth of LMB in shortest time, here is what I came up with from past posts here, about the FHM. This will probably show my stupidity, as it shows up from time to time.
One # of FHM is 350 to 400 fish
I had 120 lbs stocked in the last 120 days
120 # x 375 (average fish count) = 45,000 FHM stocked
50%male/50% female estimated = 22,500 breading pairs
So how many pallets would you float?
Will they spawn on other, like sunk trees, or floating barrel piers, or root balls of trees?
And to carry this thinking out, to feed my fingerling LMB coming in June. 22,500 FHM pairs will produce 4,000 fry per couple from May through June giving me 90,000,000 FHM. Wait this can't be right ??? Is this right??
This is a 3.52 acre pond with 10 to 12 foot of water depth. This pond will have 150 LMB fingerlings coming in June. And yes CNBG and RES are also stocked along with TFS to be stocked asap. Thanks
