Bruce,
My basic question concerns survival feasibility of late winter/early spring stocking of 6-8 inch HSB in � acre pond for transfer to 2 acre pond before mid-summer heat, with no fresh water input or aeration.
What would be your estimate for maximum growth for 6 months aggressive feeding high protein feed before transfer to main pond?
The alternative of course is to stock in main pond while the water is cold enough to slow down the LMB metabolism, and hoping for higher survival rate than previously experienced of less than 20%
