I've found that adding thick cover for fry to hide in often leads to enhanced yoy survival, which translates into more mouths to feed, which in turn leads to reduced numbers of large or trophy BG.

It really does depend on one's goals doesn't it?

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
