Another question for Cecil. What temperature difference would it take for them NOT to go into shock? i.e. What temperature should the water in the haul truck be tempered to? 5� below pond temp? 3� below pond temp? Providing there is sufficient D.O. in the pond for the trout at time of stocking of course.
Rainman and others here including Greg might be better able to answer that, but all the literature I've seen said no more than a 5 degree temp change if you can help it and 10 degrees or more they can go into shock. But then again it depends on the actual temperature, i.e., if the went from 40 to 50 or 50 to 40 that would be much better than 60 to 70.
