Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Grass Shrimp Availability

I collect and transfer shrimp between my ponds often, but only with a long handled net and nothing on this scale using seine nets or this quantity. However, even during my simple collection efforts I have to meticulously sort through vegetation, mud, tadpoles, and YOY BG, YP, etc. - it's not simple. 1/2" YOY and translucent grass shrimp are not easy to sort through...make 2 mistakes, and a fishery can be altered forever. I ruined my male BG female YP fishery once transferring shrimp during low light conditions, in a hurry to get home, daylight fading, a few YOY BG apparently escaped my sorting - two years later, fishery ruined and drain, seine, nuke and start over.

So, yes there are lots of additional critters that will end up being collected - but I'm not sure there's a market for said critters.
