I only have limited experience from my 1/20th acre forage pond and 1/10th acre sediment pond. I have seined neither.
If you are looking for fingerling production and growout to some size, from my readings I would only stock a very small number of breeding pairs. Like say 5 males and 5 females. The less adults you have in the pond, the less predation you have. A few pairs of good breeding adults will produce thousands upon thousands of fry. If you had say a hundred larger fish in the pond, they would eat a significant number of the fry. Better to keep the predatory agult numbers down.
