ewest may be able to help verify this with a reference. I once saw in a research journal article about trout that were raised in a quart jar and at the end of the study, the fish biomass practically filled the jar with fish. The authors did this feat by constantly flowing water through the quart jar similar to a hatchery race way system. Trout are very tolerant to crowding as long as the water quality (temp & DO ) remain high.

As Cecil said above "If there is enough flow ammonia, DO and nitrites won't be a problem."
