I'm putting a lot of thought into this because I want to establish populations of difficult to source forage in my pond.
I specifically want papershell crayfish, but its hard to find a few hundred pounds of them to stock. Does anyone have any thoughts about how quickly 100 crayfish turn into a pond full without predators present?
Also, there is the lake chubsucker issue. Lets say you have a five acre pond. Ideally, I'd like to put at least 2500 lake chubsuckers in there to kick things off. As we all know, that is a virtual impossibility. However, if I could catch a few hundred of them and give them a huge head start then it was my thought that they would take care my numbers issue on their own.
