If you had 100 ribbons and you had 10,000 fry or more per ribbon you have potential to have tremendous YOY perch. But also, if predators are cleaning up on them maybe things will balance out.
I would like to see how the GSH and panfish can do against the perch population especially if you also catch the larger YP and eat them periodically.
Bill raised a good point that is going to be very hard to assess, the issue of not enough micronutrients and things at the plankton level to support not only the YP fry but all the other fry that are competing for the same food source. So even if the fP fry get consumed by other bigger fish, you wonder how do you properly gauge if the fry which you can barely see are 'well nourished and plump' or starving based on micronutrients that you also can't see...
