Honestly, I don't know, CJ. I suspect so, wouldn't you? However, it's only usually a small proportion. So, if we got rid of (or didn't introduce) 40 pounds/acre of LMB, how much "room" would there be for "bioreplacement" with pike? Maybe a few pounds per acre? That's what we usually see. Even though we think that both pike and LMB are top predators, their "roles" in the pond would actually be somewhat different.
