Stocking more YP because they are pellet trained to maintain a high percentage of pellet eating YP. With each new generation of YP recruitment the percentage of YP that eat pellets decreases. So to maintain high pellet feeding numbers I frequently add more fast growing YP to compensate for natural mortality and harvest. I regularly remove YP eggs to keep recruitment to a minimum. Plus the WE help to reduce the YP recruitment and I'm learning don't eat a lot of GSF. Niches of WE and GSF seem to be different enough that WE are not controlling the GSF.
