This can have a significant impact on successful recruitment of forage fish. You may need to add some structure to insure that some of your forage fish are able to grow to a larger size. LMB eat different size forage depending upon how big the LMB is. Getting the forage fish to grow to an adquate size to feed the bigger LMB is fairly important. It the fry have no where to hide then they are going to get eaten. Once again, just one keyboard monkey's opinion.
