Stocking rates of 10-50 pounds is considered the standard recommendation but as always, it all depends......
IMO 50 lbs tilapia is overkill unless extreme circumstance.
Grass carp should play a role in your equation.
I regret I didn't have the opportunity of hearing your presentation at the PB conference so I do not know your credentials of managing your personal ponds.
I am aware of your marketing efforts and start-up of your new venture.
We have six years experience of successful tilapia management of our N.E. Texas ponds and a strong supporter of their usage.
My position in this discussion is from point of view of the customer, and have absolutely no commercial interest in the marketing of tilapia.
Yes �it all depends� � perhaps there are different stocking requirements for northern ponds.
I wish you the very best of luck in your tilapia venture.
