This is an interesting topic to me. Sorry, about the delay. Been busy and ranch work so I have had to do my little fishing this year after hours (dark).

I don't know where you would like my two cents to start but I am doing a controlled production test in a smaller pond so I can understand the reproduction capabilities of the tilapia (Mozambique).

I my larger pond I have conservatively stock tilapia only twice, once this past spring just to give a boost of only 23 larger size. I have tilapia overwintering since my initial stocking several years ago with one major, several thousands (the smell), kill off. Some survived and have repopulated the pond.

Let me digest what is being said and asked so i can give a better answer.

L.W.J. you at? I grew up down there.

Thanks
