Yolk Just thinking I could same sex the LMB with a smaller Male population (first 5 were all male as I seen it). That would lead to even less chance of recruitment if a female does happen to get in. Being smaller with a smaller mouth gape would allow for the smaller BG biomass being consumed. I could just add X (undetermined) number per year to account for harvest and mortality. Could replace what is removed during the event relative ease.
If I go this route It would defiantly make sure number 1 is correct and all I would need to do is determine X.
How Many per acre initial and how many to remove and replace per year?

I could still monitor to see if I have any recruitment along the way.

I have used sexing in the past to influence pond population control with LMB.

Yolk Thanks again for participating
