Is there any benefit to stocking RES other than fish diversity?

Last night I saw some movement in the water that looked like something swimming around so there is still some life in there. I am sure there are some crawdads left, but I want to put in some more for forage. Thanks for the info on how many pounds to start with.

Wow, that seems like a lot of BG. Are those all stocked at once at 2-3" then left alone for a year before stocking LMB?

BTW, here are a couple pictures of the pond so you guys can see how low it is.
