Thanks East West I mentioned that I had read the SRAC articles.
The
http://www.ca.uky.edu/wkrec/SALTTRANS.htm article was very informative. It brings up the question then of using MS-22 in addition to salt?
It said "Various chemical additives have been used to transport live fish. With few exceptions, there is little evidence to support claims of any real benefit. Research has shown that anesthetics can produce the same stress response as handling. However, anesthetics are beneficial for calming excitable fish that might injure themselves in transit."
Now that conflicts with the SRAC articles.
I have emailed Greg and Todd and am looking forward to their reply here or email.
Any other help would be great. I learned early in life the more questions one asks, the more one can learn..never stop learning. This is an amazing web site / magazine! There is no better place that I know of to expand ones knowledge on pond and lake management than Pond Boss...period!
Love to hear what the experts have to say on using my idea of screens for free shad eggs to help establish shad in a lake. Anyone?
