I am learning a lot from this thread - keep up the good efforts. Vulnerability of prey I think has a lot to do with how predators choose prey. Fishery energetics have a lot to do with with growing fish.

I think the post indicating Dixon Lk was 600 ac was a mistyping error. The lake I think ranges from 60 to 70 acres depending on water level; maybe even less than 60 ac during drought conditions. Many of us know how much pond surface area depends on water input and drought.
