For quite a few years 10 pounds of tilapia per acre has been like a mantra. I find 10 pounds to be woefully short. I have personally not seen that bass do much grazing on tilapia. Instead, the small BG get most of the small tilapia and the bass eat the BG. But then, the bass eat the BG. I wouldn't hesitate to stock 30 pounds or more per acre.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
