I have been reading the archives about Golden Shiners and it has been mentioned several times that GSH populations diminish over a period of time but I didn’t understand exactly why. Is it LMB eating so many or are there other reasons? If it is mainly LMB reducing the GSH population then maybe I should start taking out some LMB now about 6” long that survived my winter kill. I put in 1 gal. of GSH this spring that I think is about 7 lb, in my 1 acre pond and would like to add twice that much next spring. I also introduced 600 FH and 100 BG this spring. But I really want a big population of GSH for FA control.
