That's why you need an idea of the pounds of fish you intend to harvest, the frequency of the harvest, and the duration of the harvest. Cannot escape the math.


My dad said he will have no problem fishing out as many fish as needed. Knowing him, I have no trouble believing him.

As for frequency, I would guess at least 2 weekends per month. So if the only management that is required is to pull fish out, I think we got that taken care of.


Gotcha. My concern was not that the pond wouldn't be fished enough, but rather it's small size would limit its potential as a viable, long-term food source. I have apparently greatly misunderstood the prepper reference. I thought you were counting on this pond to supply a major portion of your food over an extended period.

"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.
