It seems there is some data that, do to the pelagic nature of both small crappies and HSB, that HSB are very effective at controlling crappie populations in smaller BOWs which in the past were considered too small to maintain a crappie population without stunting. I don't have a dog in this fight but I found the data intriguing. Comments?
I wonder if the "Palagic Nature" of small BCP would help feed the tarpon in my pond., I feel the CNBG and tilapia hug the shallows. IF they had a more open water fish they might fatten up some. Do small BCP tend to swim more out in the open water than either TP or cnbg?
sorry if this is a hijack,
it still relates to controlling crappy, :-)
