1 year to a half-pound - that's what aquaculture needs for commercial BG fillet production, my man.
And Bruce is the only one selectively breeding them that I know of! Seems to me if Bruce can eventually do this consistently he will have a big market. Most growers are pooh poohing the bluegills because they don't grow fast enough. But I've seen the fillets selling for $16.00 per pound!
I will be doing some selective breeding of my own here thanks to Bruce.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
