bdoug,
sounds like your getting some fish from American Sportfish?? That is my source and have had them do great, but like Bob mentioned Feeding is important. You should be set with the feeders. I think the survivial will be fine as long as you feed pellets. The research showing lowered survivial was proabably a comparision of farge raised bass and pellet raised bass survival when stocked in ponds without the continued use of pellet food.
