One of our 1/2 acre production ponds produced between 30000-40000 1"-3" bluegill in 2005. Was the pond overstocked? A bass could state a good arguement.
Because of population size, limited food source, and no predation, these bluegill weren't growing fast. At 2.5 lbs per 1000, they only consisted of 100 lbs of biomass. A productive pond can produce and sustain about 500 lbs of bluegill per acre, without bass in the equation. If you do the math you might find that you are far from overstocked.
500 lbs of 4"-7" bluegill might consist of 5000 fish.
It's ALL about the fish!
