Not all of the eggs in a strand get fertilized. Some do succumb to fungus.

But as fecund as yellow perch are, and as impossible as they are to get rid of -- when they are introduced to new waters, I wouldn't worry too much. I would bet there are plenty of viable eggs in your pond.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
