Greer, for a $50 annual investment, you can restock every year. The tilapia offspring will also help feed and support the other "rear-round" species.
$50 would be about 4-5 pounds of stocker size Tilapia in a quarter acre pond, and could produce 50-60 pounds of fish in a single season. Unless you are willing to do a lot of management, or build a much larger pond, nothing will produce more pounds of fish for less money or work than Tilapia.
Nothing that goes onto your dinner table survives the winter...lol
