Regularly monitor the density of the forage fish.



Would HSB and RES be a working food chain? I believe I understand the RES to not be fast enough reproducers for a LMB pond, but since the numbers of the HSB would be defined, thought the RES might work for them.

Please correct me if I am wrong about RES not being a strong enough food supply for LMB or even SMB as that was a route I had hoped to go initially.


Thanks for all the advice and ides thus far!
