Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Placing branches down for YP spawn

Apparently YP do not transfer well and have poor survival if water temperature is too warm maybe above 65F-70F. I've heard too many stories of YP dying after stocking when moved above 66F-70F. Be aware of this when stocking YP. I don't trust others to do my fish hauling, plus I want to pick up my YP as soon as they are collected from the grow out ponds. Sitting in a holding tank is very hard and stressful for ALL fish especially in the wrong temperature water. BG & CC are very "touchy" when handled in cold water. IMO and experience, some fish species 'prefer' to be moved in cold water (40F-55F-YP,WE,NP,trout), some prefer cool water(55F-60F,YP,SMB,GSH,FHM), some warmer(70+) water (BG,LMB,CC,HSB,tilapia). Prefer means fewest latent deaths after stocking.
