Yeah I'm moving a way from the cages to RAS tanks! I'm seeing some wear and tear on some of the large bluegills that spent part of their lives in the cages.
I also figured out where my bluegill reproduction came from in my "all male" bluegill pond. Apparently I had some escapees from one of my cages. Esshup and I seined the pond and found several females that were to big too have been reproduced in the pond, but to small to have been planted. Logical deduction says they came out of one of the cages. I do remember the ice had pushed one side of one of the cages down to the water level at last ice last year. I corrected it immediately but apparently some swam out between the lid and the cage edge in the mean time.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
