Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Triploid LMB?

This is interesting research that could have ramifications for a long time. To grow bass that had no breeding pressure. They might have to make a new column in the record books for Triploid LMB. I agree with Mr. Baird on a lot of things, from personal experiance it is very time consuming and laborius project to over-winter Tialpia. However a population of people in North Country could benefit greatly from someone taking a chance on Tilapia production.

If we can make Triploid bass, what about Triploid crappie, then anyone can have crappie without fear of overpopulation. You could also treat different species as a put-and-take. Put in 500 crappie in a small impoundment let them grow up and then take them out. Start over again and you have a industry that keeps going. This could be heady stuff here. Someone just has to take a chance.
