Thanks Chad. I still feel that limiting recruitment is key to managing HBG, which would render the topic of "what are these fish going to turn into?" a moot point. I wish hatcheries would spend more time educating their potential customers as to how to properly manage these fish, rather than trying to convince them that the dreaded GSF syndrome won't occur with "their" hybrids....I feel if these fish are managed properly, it won't be an issue with anyone's hybrids, regardless of parentage.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
